Newspapers have one basic purpose – to get news as quickly as possible from their source, from those who make it to those who want to know it. Radio, television, and other inventions brought competition for newspapers, so did the development of magazines and other means of communication. However, this competition merely stimulated the newspapers to quickly make use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the speed of their own operations. Today more newspapers are printed and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out into many other fields. Besides keeping readers informed of the latest news, today’s newspapers educate and influence readers about politics and other important and serious matters.
Newspapers influence readers’ economic choices through advertising. Most depend on advertising for their very existence. Newspapers are sold at a price that fails to cover even a small part of the production cost. The main source of income for most newspapers is advertising. The success in selling advertising depends on a newspaper’s value to advertisers. This is measured in terms of circulation (发行量): How many people read the newspaper？ Circulation depends, to some extent, on the work of the circulation department and on the services or entertainment offered in a newspaper’s pages. But for the most part, circulation depends on a newspaper’s value to readers as a source of information about the community, city, country, state, nation, and world – and even outer space.

I had to learn to say “please”, “sorry”, “thank you”, whether I felt it or not. Once, while buying a ticket to Waterloo, I forgot to say “please”. The man at the counter was offended and would not give me the ticket until I had said “please”. When he handed me the ticket, he said “sorry”, and hurried inside to take the only empty seat.
On the way to the office one morning, a man collapsed in my compartment. At Waterloo, everybody left, but I stayed with him until the ambulance arrived and was an hour late getting to the office. I was told that it was not my job to look after strangers.
I found that many did not even look after their own parents who were old and helpless. In India, it is the duty of the children to look after their parent and old relatives. While serving a meal, my mother always gave food to the elderly relatives and children first and ate whatever was left over. The elderly never felt isolated. They lived with their families and contributed to the happiness of the house.
