Hundreds of years ago, people carried news from place to place on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions (十亿) of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers became an important part of everyday life about three hundred years ago. And they are always important. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to choose? Why do they choose some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly, it is important to report (报道) news stories. TV stations can report 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 choose quite different stories to those on TV.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. So, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never choose stories about planes landing safely； instead they choose stories about plane accidents (事故).
Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more like to read stories about people, places and events (事件) 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.

"My dear dad， where are we going?" This has become the most popular question recently. It's a line from the theme song of Hunan TV station's reality(真人) show Where Are We Going， Dad?
