Hi everyone
The invention of the telephone, internet, magazines and newspapers has made the world a small village. Newspapers and magazines provide important information for the general public and are therefore often used as a means of communication. Although they mainly serve the same purpose, they are distinct differences between the two.
What is a newspaper?
A newspaper is a continuous publication containing mostly breaking news. It also includes other educational and entertaining articles. They are widely used worldwide and are considered the most important source of reliable, new and authentic information. Most newspapers appear daily, but some also appear weekly and bi-weekly. To keep prices down, the quality of the paper used is poor
What is a magazine?
A magazine is a periodic publication that contains information on various topics such as sports, fashion, health, nutrition, medicine, technology and finance. They appear weekly or monthly and are suitable as catchy tunes for the target clientele. They are informal with lots of pictures. Writing is also based on a person's opinion, but not so much on facts.
