3. What information can you find in a newspaper?

Looking at the contents of newspapers we can say that the type of information presented in other sources of mass media will be just the same, because mass media grew from the roots of newspapers. The first newspapers appeared in the late Middle Ages in Germany. It was a newsletter of a trading family, and it contained information about goods and services and their prices. Newspapers with political news, both local and international appeared in Western European countries from 1605 in Belgium till 1661 in Poland, including Switzerland, England, France, Denmark, Italy and Sweden in between.

Today newspapers all over the world have high numbers of circulation, but there are shifts in print newspapers circulation due to the development of the Internet. For example, the Wall Street Journal, the largest newspaper in the United States, had a circulation of about 3,086 million copies (including 0.754 million print copies and nearly 2,256 million online subscriptions as of December 2020).

Top UK daily newspapers include the Sun (2,279,492 copies), Daily Mail (1,821,684) and Daily Mirror (1,032,144). (Newspaper Circulation Figures Based on March 2013 ABC National Daily Newspapers Report).

Перевод:

1. Согласно тексту, газеты стали популярны, потому что они предоставляли важную информацию. Первые газеты содержали информацию о товарах, услугах и их ценах. Позже они стали включать местные и международные политические новости.

2. В тексте нет прямого ответа, но мир без новостей, скорее всего, был бы неинформированным и разобщенным. Людям не хватало бы осведомленности о важных местных и глобальных событиях.

3. В газете можно найти информацию о товарах и услугах, их ценах, а также политические новости (как местные, так и международные). Список лексики также подсказывает, что можно найти статьи, редакционные статьи, очерки, авторские колонки, рекламу, объявления и новости о преступности и финансах.
