NEWSPAPER

 Ours is an age of modern science Modern science has invented new ways and means for our comforts. Newspaper is a wonder of modern science. Newspaper is a paper which carries news and views of home and abroad to us. In the morning we wait eagerly for a newspaper. We can not have our breakfast without a newspaper of the day. We cannot do a single day without newspaper. It is a part and parcel in our day to day life.

Newspaper was first published in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The Indian Gazette which was the first newspaper in indo- Bangladesh was published in 1774. The Samachar Darpan is the first Bengali Newspaper. The Christian missionaries of Srerampore published it. Now those days are gone by. Man has invented printing machine. Thousand of newspapers are being printed daily all over the world.

There are many kind of newspapers. They are dailies, biweeklies, weeklies monthlies and even quarterlies. The dailies contain news and views about the daily affairs of the whole world. There are some other papers which are know as periodicals and magazines. They contain literary articles. There are many English and Bengali dailies in our country, They are the Ittefaq, The Protom Alo, The Jogantar, The Inquilab, The Observer, The Daily Star etc.

Global distance has been removed. The world has become smaller. One part of the world has been linked up with another through newspaper. Newspaper is of great use to us. It serves the purpose of different sections. We get all sorts of information in the newspapers. We know through them what is going on the world around us. They give us news about politics, economics, culture, literature, games and sports of the whole world.

Newspapers are very useful to us. Without a newspaper we can not even think of our own life.
