Types of Newspaper

Daily
A daily newspaper is simply as the name states, and issued everyday. Some newspapers have exceptions of Sundays and some national holidays. Saturday editions, and sometimes Sunday editions and usually larger, include more in-depth and specialised sections, as well as having more advertising inserts, and costing more. Some newspapers have sister newspapers which run on Sundays specifically, such as the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday, and also the Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph.

Weekly
Weekly newspapers, such as the Isle of Wight County Press and the Sunday Telegraph, tend to be larger than daily papers. There are also some newspapers that are published twice or three times a week. These are still classified as weekly newspapers in the United States.

National
Most nations have at least one newspaper that circulates throughout the whole country. This is a national newspaper, as contrasted with a local newspaper serving a city or region. In the United Kingdom there are numerous national newspapers, such as The Independent, The Observer, The Sun, The Daily Mail and the Daily Express.

International
There is also a small group of newspapers which may characterised as international newspapers. Some, such as The International Herald Tribune, have always had that focus, while others are repackaged national newspapers or "international editions" of national-scale or large metropolitan newspapers. Often these international editions are scaled down to remove articles that might not interest the wider range of readers.
