with news, newspapers are also a medium of advertising. Advertisements related to
goods, services and recruitment are broadcast. There are also missing, lost-found,
and government-release ads. Though these advertisements are useful most of the
time, sometimes they result in misleading people. Many big companies and firms
also advertise through newspapers to enhance their brand value in the market.

Disadvantages of newspaper
There are numerous advantages of the newspaper, but on the other side, there are
some drawbacks too. Newspapers are a source of exchanging diverse views. So,

can cause riots, hatred and disunity. Sometimes immoral advertisements and
vulgar pictures printed in the newspaper can severely damage society’s moral
values.

The newspaper industry provides employment opportunities for a vast number
of people, including journalists, editors, photographers, and advertising
executives. It is an essential part of the economy and contributes to the growth
of the country.
