Hundreds of years ago，the news was carried from place to place by people on foot or horseback. It took days，weeks or sometimes months for them to receive the news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in a second. Millions of people learn about the news stories of their own country and all over the world every day，either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print？Why do they print some stories and not others？What makes good newspaper stories？
Firstly，it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report the news much faster than newspapers. Yet newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way，or they may print a completely different story to the one on TV.
Secondly，a news story has to be interesting and unusal. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result，many stories are about some kinds of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example，newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely，instead they print stories about plane accidents.
Another factor is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in the news in foreign countries，but still more prefer to read stories about people，places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British，French and American newspapers.
