A Note About Online News

Most major newspapers now operate primarily as digital-first or multimedia news organizations, offering websites, mobile applications, newsletters, podcasts, videos and social-media channels in addition to traditional print editions.

Readers should also remember that every newspaper has its own editorial policies, audience, ownership structure and journalistic perspective. For important or controversial subjects, consulting several reputable sources can provide a broader understanding of an event.

A well-informed reader does not simply read the news—they compare, question and understand it.
