  1. To make success they need more creative editors offering attractive ideas,articles and strategies, they need someone who really care about all this stuff. headlines,rumours and numerous adds are not just enough to draw readers attention)

  2. I think that editors should do something with mistakes that they make in newspapers: mistakes of fact (for example, misspelled names, wrong dates, addresses or titles)and mistakes of meaning (for example, misrepresenting a source, failing to confirm specific information with a second, independent source or omitting
    relevant information). Editors shouldn't be so careless reporting something and do need to pay more attention to quality than to quantity.

  3. I agree with this statement and I think there are lots of problems. First of all, of course, it is the importance of events,themes which are mentioned in one or another newspapers. I mean sometimes we take a newspaper in our hands and see absolutely unimportant information like divorses of famous people or their holidays and relationships with each other. It does not matter for many readers. Newspapers should be interested in global problems or events. Secondly, I always pay attention to spelling mistakes and if they take place it means that someone did his job not well. That is why it is neccesary that the staff consists of literate,creative and engaged with their job people.

  4. Personally I don't buy newspapers for news. By the time it's published & on sale it's yesterdays news. I can get up to the minuit reports from TV & internet at no cost so why buy newspapers to read news.Some local newspapers may cover local stories better but unless I want to know something specific in my area I go elsewhere to find thing out

  5. I absolutely agree with Chris Anderson. Now my family don’t buy any newspaper, but some tame ago, when the Internet wasn’t so available as it’s now, most of news we’ve got to know information from newspapers and, of course, TV programmers. So all that I can say are all known things. First of all, there are a lot of rubbish or advertising, if you want. I think, all of you will agree with the fact that when a man buys a newspaper, he pays for important information, but not for water. Secondly, time time slips by, and no editor can lurch it. So we can find an old version of current events. And finally, we’ve got the Internet and always can read everything we want, plus this information will be reliable as every newspaper is controlled be the government in our country.
