London has a new magazine. But its not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.

In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder （译码器）. Each page of it is numbered， so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. Theres a wide choice — everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.

If you want to read the news， the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index （索引） page which has an easy-to-remember page number， 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. If you want to go out in the afternoon， so you press 181， and a weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the weeks best bargains （减价）. But should you drive or take the train？ To answer the question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. Its very simple to use.

London has already had three services. One， transmitted by ITV， is called ORACLE， while the other two， on BBC， are called CEEFAX， because they let you see facts. Although ORACLE and CEEFAX have been operating for some time， they have not been well-known. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing， which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.

There are more than 1，500 daily newspapers in the US. Each one is sold only in one part of the country， e.g. in a city， but they cover national and international news. In large cities there are often more than one newspaper and the different ones express different political opinions. Some newspapers are sold in nearly all parts of the US， e.g. USA Today and The New York Times. Two other newspapers， the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post are known and respected all over the US but cannot be bought everywhere. Other important newspapers are： the Boston Globe， sold in New England， the Chicago Tribune， sold in the Mid-West， the Christian Science Monitor and USA Today， both sold nationally， and the Washington Post on the East Coast.

There are also weekly newspapers in all parts of the US which cover local news.

Daily newspapers are published on every day of the week except Sunday. Sunday newspapers are very big， often having several separate parts. They contain many larger articles and a lot of advertisements. Each section deals with a different subject， such as national and international news， sports， travel， etc. One section， the classifieds has advertisements for jobs and things for sale. Another section is called the funnies. There is often a magazine which is in color.

In the 1960s a group of newspapers began to appear that were later called in “alternative press”. They expressed extreme political opinions. Many of the newspapers which were part of this movement， such as the Village Voice or the Reader in Chicago， are less extreme today and more widely read.
