Only 2 or 3 newspapers with the largest circulation tell their readers
about some rumours or crimes. The main function of press in America is to give objective information. The materials should be given in full volume and newspapers should give floor to all possible facts and opinions. There is also no secret information for the press. The information is usually taken from the News Agencies. The largest and most famous of them are: Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI).

Most general-purpose newspapers are either printed one day a week, or are
printed daily. They are in part advertising driven, including classified ads, but also receive income from newsstand sales and subscriptions. Major cities often have alternative weeklies, for example, New York City's Village Voice or Los Angeles' L.A. Weekly, which are entirely advertising driven, and offered for free to the public. A newspaper meeting particular standards of circulation, including having a subscription or mailing list, is designated as a newspaper of general circulation.
