The newspaper acts as a mirror to society and informs everything in detail that helps our society forming their opinion.

This research has been conducted due to the fact that some researchers have claimed that “journalism is dying” whilst others have argued that “journalism is not dying but is simply evolving” (Blatchford: 2014).
