Newspaper review
It's a sample of the newspaper's review.
I like the newspaper of the UK ‘The Daily Mirror.’
This newspaper has very unusual headlines and the front page. That’s why when you see it, you can’t divert your look. By the way it has several sections. For examples: current affairs, cultural news, fashion or social trends, sports reports. In addition they don’t forget about national and international problems. The specialization of the newspaper is scandals. They like to tell about the life of stars and sometimes it is enough interesting. As for me the cultural life is more attractive.
I am convinced that the press is really professional. The newspaper has a very good staff of reporters, editors, columnists. course, I’d like to express my personal gratitude to the proprietor of it. For sure, he makes the best newspaper in the world!
The ‘Daily mirror’ is published daily. The circulation of it is more than 100 000. And of course, it has an online version, which provides all the readers with the latest currant affairs. The corresponds are very hard-working people! All articles differ from one another, they have their own original style and special mood. We can see, how people clash with the authority, observe people's protest, make a lot of interviews with celebrities.
It is really the incredible newspaper. I think, it gives us the best leisure.
