PRESS IN BRITAIN

1. Прочитайте та перекладіть українською мовою весь текст. Перепишіть та письмово перекладіть з 1-го по 4-й абзаци тексту:

Probably in no other country are there such great differences between the daily newspapers.

On the one hand, there are the 'quality' newspapers: The Times, The Independent, The Guardian, The Financial Times, and The Daily Telegraph. These concern themselves with factual reports of major national and international events in the world of politics and business, art and sport.

On the other hand, there are the 'populars' and 'tabloids', so-called because of their smaller size. The tabloids — the most widely read of them are The Daily Mail, The Daily Express, The Daily Mirror, The Sun, and The Daily Star — concentrate on more emotive reporting of stories, often feature sex, violence, the Royal family, film and pop stars, and sport. It is often said that the popular press aims to entertain its readers rather than to inform them.

In some countries newspapers are owned by government or by political parties. This is not the case in Britain. Newspapers here are mostly owned by individuals or by publishing companies, and the editors of the papers are usually allowed considerable freedom of expression.

This does not mean that all the newspapers are without political bias. Papers like The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Express, and The Sun, for example, usually reflect Conservative opinions in their comment and reporting, while The Daily Mirror and The Guardian have a more left-wing bias.

In addition to the 12 daily newspapers, there are nine newspapers which are published on Sundays. Besides, nearly every area in Britain has one or several local newspapers.
