People also read these newspapers for their reviews of new books, movies, plays, and for their editorials, which present the opinion of the newspaper itself about the important events and issues of the moment. Less serious newspapers are probably read just for entertainment. They have big headlines above the news stories, funny cartoons to look at and sensational photos of violence. 1.
