Essay on “If there were no Newspaper”  Essay English

Your morning cup of tea would lose its flavour if not accompanied by a newspaper. You'd find your whole day incomplete if you didn't get, for some reason or the other, to browse through an account of the latest events in the world.


But imagine the scene if there were no newspapers. Where would we get news about the world from? Maybe over the radio. But then, there would be no photographs, no comments, nothing that is visible. It would just be a voice telling you of the happenings all over the world. 


How boring it would be! TV news? Yes, but one cannot carry the TV and watch it wherever and whenever one has the time. We have to be seated on the sofa in front of the TV when the newsreader is reading the news. Besides, a newspaper is cheap, and nearly everyone can afford it. Not so a TV.


If there were no newspapers, there would be no comic strips, no sports columns, no crosswords, no advertisements. In fact, one would not have anything to fold and put in the bag, to be read on the train or bus on the way to work. 


There would be no letters to the editor, in which people express their opinions. How would one inform the world about the births and deaths in their family? Or if one wanted to buy or sell anything? Matrimonial advertisements in newspapers are very popular; and many happy marriages are the result of these advertisements.


Unlike reports over the radio and TV, newspaper reports can be cut and stored to be read at a later date. Local newspapers give the local news, so that authorities come to know of the matters like illegal constructions in one's area, or the condition of the roads in one's locality. 


Because of newspapers, a person is aware of what is happening not only in one's own locality but also in the distant corners of the world. Newspapers can also be effectively used to change public opinion about socially important issues like dowry and child marriages.


But on the other hand, imagine how much of paper we would have saved if there were no newspapers! Fewer trees would have to be cut for the sake of paper. But how boring our lives would have been, without the newspaper to satisfy our curiosity and the strong desire for gossip!
