The British are a nation of newspaper readers. Many of them have a daily newspaper delivered to their homes just in time for breakfast. There are about 130 daily and Sunday newspapers, over 2,000 weekly and some periodical publications in Britain.
Officially newspapers are almost independent of any political party, but their political leanings can easily be discovered.
British newspapers can be divided into two groups: quality and popular. Quality newspapers are more serious and cover home (national) and foreign (international) news, while the popular newspapers like shocking, personal stories as well as some news. These two groups of newspapers can be distinguished easily because the quality papers are twice the size of the popular newspapers. The other distinction between the two kinds is on an educational level. Quality newspapers are intended for well educated people.
The popular newspapers tend to make news sensational. These papers focus on more emotional reporting of stories about the Royal Family, film and pop stars, sport and other items. They publish
"personal" articles which shock and excite readers. Instead of printing factual news reports, these papers write them in an exciting way, easy to read, playing on people's emotions. They avoid serious problems and social questions, treat them superficially. This press is much more popular than the quality press.
British newspapers are often associated with Fleet Street, located in Westminster City of London. Fleet Street was the home of the nation's newspapers till the recent past. But not long ago practically all the newspapers moved their headquarters to Docklands, a newly developed business centre in the eastern part of London. Only two newspapers The Daily Express and The Daily Telegraph are still in Fleet Street. However, people still say "Fleet Street" to mean "the press"
As a matter of fact, there is no censorship in Great Britain, but in 1953 Press Council was set up.
It is not an official body, but it is composed of people nominated by journalists and it receives complains against particular newspapers, it may criticize papers. But it has no direct effects.
The local papers are weekly. They are not taken seriously, being mostly bought for the useful information contained in their advertisements.

Answer 5

It is not specified in the text whether the press is legally free in most countries.
The press is not necessarily controlled by any one group or entity. In some cases, the press may be owned by private individuals or companies, while in others it may be owned by the government.
It is not mentioned in the text whether people are aware of the ownership of the press.
The mass media can influence public opinion by presenting certain information and perspectives, potentially shaping the views of those who consume the media.
The functions of the press can include providing news and information, holding those in power accountable, and giving a voice to the public.
Reading newspapers is not mentioned as a leisure activity in the text.
The text does not mention which countries have the highest rates of newspaper readership.
British newspapers are divided into two groups: quality and popular.
The distinction between quality and popular newspapers is in the content and target audience, with quality papers being more serious and intended for a well-educated audience, and popular papers featuring more sensational and emotional stories.
