Visitors to Britain are sometimes surprised to learn that newspapers there have such a large circulation(發(fā)行). The Daily Mirror and the Daily Express both sell about four million copies every day. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays.

Besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the British press (出版社)which sells almost as many copies. Local(地方的)newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own finance(財政) and many of them are very profitable(賺錢的).

These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events----births, weddings, deaths, council(會議)meetings and sports. Editors prefer to depend on people who know the district well. A great deal of（許多的） local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news.
