Woman: I have subscription to two newspapers. One is put out in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Do you subscribe to any papers?
Man: No, I don’t. I buy my papers at the newsstand. But it’s nice to have a newspaper delivered to your door, isn’t it?
Woman: Yes, it is. That way I’m sure not to miss any of my favorite sections. Doesn’t the size of the daily paper surprise you?
Man: Yes, it certainly does. The newspaper staff—the reporters, writers, editors, and linotype operators—must be busy continuously. They need a large circulation to support such a staff, don’t they?
Woman: I’m sure they do. Of course, much of a newspaper’s income comes from advertisements.
Man: That’s true. I try to read the whole paper, don’t you?
Woman: No. I just read the parts that interest me. I glance at the headlines, but I read the sports page and the business arefully. Do you read those?
Man: No, but I do read the editorials and the news section. You saw the article about the earthquake in Japan, didn’t you?
Woman: Yes. That was a terrible disaster. So many people were killed! Do you think newspapers should print stories like that?
Man: Certainly they should! Newspapers must print stories about disasters. They’re part of the news of the day and people want to know about them. Don’t you agree?
Woman: Yes, I suppose disasters are news, too. It seems to me that newspapers would be more pleasant to read if they had a large society nd more comic strips. Don’t you like to read articles about celebrations and happy events?
Man: Yes, I enjoy reading them. But since you don’t like to read unhappy news, why do you subscribe to two newspapers? If I were you, I wouldn’t read a newspaper at all.
