What Is a Newspaper?
A newspaper is a publication that is issued daily or weekly and includes local and international
news stories, advertisements, announcements, opinions, cartoons, sports news and television
listings. It is an important method of letting the public know everything that is happening in their
local area and around the world. Even with the advancements in computer technology,
newspapers continue to be an important aspect of everyday life.
It is important to know the sections of the newspaper and what information each one contains.
The front page has the most important stories of the day. Each story has its own "headline" and a
"by-line" giving the name of the reporter who wrote the story. Every newspaper story has to
answer the following questions:
Nowhere to Go but Up
By Walt Walton
The Paper
Waters men's basketball coach Audrey Hatfield will have a good idea of what she is up against
this season after the first two road games that kick off the Tens' 2008-09 schedule this weekend
in Mars, Atlantis.
Hatfield faces the daunting task of turning around a team that has finished in last place for the
past four seasons. Its best player is still struggling to make a comeback from knee surgery.
The Tens take on the Venus Nines today in Mars before heading to Jupiter to play the Rings on
Sunday. The Nines began the season by defeating the Moons 80 -68 last weekend.
Although it is still early in the season, Hatfield says the games are important because they are
against two winning teams.
"These games will give us a good idea as to where we stand," said Hatfield.
Playing two different teams back-to-back also means a little more work for the coaches and
players in regards to preparation.
"It's obviously tougher because you've got two sets of videotapes to watch and two different
teams to prepare for. You want to know what they do on offence and you want the players to
know. You want to be able to run what you expect to see from them. The Nines, for example,
play a complete half-court, man-to-man. The Rings are going to press us, run some zone against
us and some man," explained Hatfield.
As far as star forward Matty Molloy is concerned. Hatfield said the Mars native and former
scoring champ is going on the road, but he's not sure how many minutes he'll get.
"Right now, he's working on making the starting lineup," said Hatfield.
