I think it depends which newspapers you read. Some of them still report the news. Others don’t do it much. I think it’s important for any newspaper to report what had happened, but people like to read other things too. I think it’s good to expose scandal occasionally. Famous people are in the public eye and they cannot turn a blind eye to this. I don’t think it’s their main role, though. Their main role is to inform and this means writting reports on current news and events. I think television can do this too, but with a newspaper it’s not the same. You have time to read and think about it. That’s what I think.
