speech on newspaper ought to contain more news and fewer advertisement
Answers
I'll give you an example on how much advertising is spent in a given month on a newspaper. My secular job is with the local newspaper.
We have 23 employees, (yes it is a small newspaper). On a monthly basis we will bring in between $23,000 to $30,000 in subscriptions. If the paper relied solely on subscriptions, everyone would make roughly $1,000 a month, and that's not taking into account the bills. Advertising brings in around $60,000 a month. By the time all the bills are paid, the paper barely breaks even.
One thing many people don't know about, when a customer receives the paper by mail, not only does the newspaper company have to pay by the piece and the weight of the paper, but the newspaper also has to pay a rate based on the advertising percentage. (What percent of the paper is ads and what is news).
Explanation:
Newspapers Ought to Contain More News and Fewer Advertisements
(by ______)
Respected Chairperson, dear friends, good morning to you all . Here my self ___and I am here to represent a speech on the topic ____________.
It is painful to see that journalists have lost all ethics and professionalism today. Like all other professionals, the pressmen are also attracted by the lure of the lucrae. They adopt diverse techniques to increase the revenue of their paper. They try to sensationalise the news to win more readers. However, even the newspaper having the largest circulation is not self-dependent. It must have plenty of commercial advertisements to meet its running costs. In fact, it is these ads which provide the owners the requisite funds. Thus, advertisements cannot be ruled out. They are a necessary evil and must stay.
The owners and editors of the newspapers must also realise their responsibility to the nation. The press is the strongest pillar of democracy. It creates sensible public opinion in favour of good policies and criticises the wrong policies. The newspapers must maintain a balance between news and advertisements. A common man buys a newspaper for news. It would be better that the editors publish a classified advertisement supplement twice or thrice a week and save the general reader from the proliferation of advertisements while scanning the pages for views and news.
