The difference between daily newspapers and weekly newspapers is mainly that daily newspapers usually have news from the day before or a few days before and weekly newspapers have articles about news that has happened throughout the whole week and possibly before then. Daily newspapers cannot write articles about news that happened that day because the paper has already been written. News that is received after the daily deadline has to wait for the weekly newspaper, which is usually published and distributed on Sundays. News that is current that didn’t make it into the newspaper for that particular day usually shows up on local or national television stations or radio stations. This way, if there is one form of medium that doesn’t include certain information, there are many other options to get it out to the public.
My local newspaper, The Sarasota Herald Tribune, is a daily newspaper that has all different information about events happening in Sarasota. Each day, all of the journalists involved write articles about things that happened the day before or even within the past week. This paper also includes section about world news and national news. If the story is really detailed or concerns many of the readers, they will provide articles everyday about that topic with quotes and extra information (heraldtribune.com, 2012)
My local weekly newspaper, The East County Observer, focuses on stories that have been in the daily papers and events that have happened over the past week. This paper has more specific stories to a localized part of the county and includes more sections such as Arts, Jobs, Real Estate, and local activities. Usually in this paper, journalists go to local schools or organizations and ask them about certain events coming up that they might want included in the newspaper. This is how people become more aware of their community (yourobserver.com, 2012).
