Newspapers
Advertisements
A newspaper cannot exist without advertisements . They pay for at least 75 % of all costs. The people who work in this department sell ads to individuals and companies.
Newspapers carry two types of ads. Display ads can be as large as a full page and can also include illustrations and photos. Classified ads or want ads usually appear in a separate section. They often have only a few lines in which people offer goods and services or look for jobs and apartments. Classified's are grouped into categories so that readers can easily find what they want.
