Types of newspapers
Usually newspapers are divided into two groups: quality and popular. Quality papers contain political, economic news, popular papers have short articles about celebrities, crime, large headlines and a lot of pictures.
Though now it is almost impossible to classify all the Russian newspapers into these groups.

Local papers
In our Republic we have some newspapers too. They usually write about local news. The papers also include weather reports and a TV guide.

The most popular newspaper in Cheboksary is “Pro gorod” because it is delivered free.
