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.
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.
