National vs Local newspaper

                         

 The basic difference between the two is that national newspapers such as The nation, the dawn etc mainly cover news on a larger scale they are mainly concerned with what goes around nationwide. International news is also often catered by national newspaper such as dollar rates compared to other currencies and price raise. National newspapers therefore help its reader stay well-  versed about not only what is happening in their country but worldwide. 


       This however has the disadvantage of cost the               price is much higher that the local one due to the           shipping cost of transporting millions copies                  thought the country


    On the other hand local newspaper offers its                    reader’s information about the world in which                  they interact every day which is their city mainly,          sometimes this is more helpful than reading about          the country as a whole. As their span and                     consumers they reach is smaller compared to             national, these papers can focus more on each           issue and bring extensive coverage, context and a local perspective to the news. Local papers,           such as The Lahore times often also cost less than   national publications

   However, local newspapers can't offer the scope that     national newspapers give their readers, nor can they       afford to cover many international events due to their     limited budget. The choice between the two is based        on the requirement of news of the reader.
