Talk:Lists of newspapers

message: Does this list of newspapers only count daily newspapers, and not Sunday editions? Because Western Australia's daily and Sunday newspapers are independent of one another. It's not just a Sunday edition of the same newspaper. - Mark 01:28, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: I found this page after adding some missing mastheads from List of newspapers in Australia (which is still not complete - missing more weekly mastheads), but I'd imagine this page would get (more) unwieldly if they were added here. ChrisM 05:45, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  How many newspapers per country. 

message: :A thought. As I wander through the listings, I'm thinking that it might be helpful to mark off "official" newspapers (People's Daily in the PRC, L'Osservatore Romano for the Vatican, Granma in Cuba, etc.) somehow. For one thing, it seems misleading to present these as "normal" newspapers. They're not, not normally. One does not read People's Daily for the content, for example. The content is almost irrelevant, as the article on the paper almost notes; You read it for the frequency and placement of stuff, not the details of the articles, and occasionally read between the lines to get a deeper hint as to Party thought. Similar with Granma, I'd bet, as it was with Pravda. And, in a small way, I'd suspect it's similar with L'Osservatore Romano, though probably not to the same extent. For another, it's helpful to try and lay out a country's media landscape, especially when one can assume that people from abroad are unlikely to be familiar with it. --Penta 23:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe put those thoughts in the articles of respective newspapers. Labelling here would lead nowhere, as there would be too many opinions (revert war) of newspapers "official", "normal" and otherwise? feydey 01:04, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Note "official" newspapers? 

message: This is a great directory of newspapers, but it provides too much detail.  As it stands, it links to lists of newspapers in specific countries (like List of newspapers in Canada) but then also goes on to list many of the newspapers included in those sub-articles.  The result?  If you want to add a newspaper, you have to add it to two separate lists: this one, and the one for the specific country.
My suggestion is to make this page contain only links to directories for specific countries (and not include links to articles on specific newspapers).  Thoughts?

:There've been no comments either for or against this issue over the past month, so I assume no one feels strongly about it.  Since this page is definitely larger than the recommended Wikipedia article length, and since I notice users have had to make their additions both on this page AND on the individual country pages, I'll plan to reduce this article down to a directory of country lists as described above.  If anyone has any suggestions/comments/alternatives, please just let me know. Thanks! Huw 01:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The above comments were made over a year ago, but I thought I'd chime in here anyway. I can't make any sense out of this page at all. I just don't see the need for a exhaustive list of newspapers (which would be ungainly if complete), and there seems to be neither rhyme nor reason to the addition of those papers that are listed here. This page is fairly old (dating from December 2001), so I can see how it served a purpose when Wikipedia was young, and then just grew organically over the five years since to become the mess it is today. I think the best thing would be to merge most of this into the paltry List of national newspapers (only Canada, the U.K., and the U.S. are currently listed there!), with the strict guideline that only nationwide papers are listed there. Perhaps there's another way to pare down this page with more specific guidelines for inclusion, but as it is it just seems superfluous to the categories and lists that already exist. -Tobogganoggin talk 23:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd forgotten about this page until recently, but I just came across it again.  It's been a year and a half since I proposed to reduce this page to a directory of country lists, and not a single opposing view's been posted, so I'm going ahead.  No one can say they haven't had adequate time to voice their opinions! :-)  Huwmanbeing ★ 02:07, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundancy? 

message: I think the article is simply a list of newspapers around the world, and there is really no need to put "Republic of China" behind Taiwan since most of the world recognize Taiwan as "Taiwan" already. It will actually eliminate the confusion of two "Chinas". Secondly, the world adopts the One China Policy of PRC as the only legitimate China of the world, it would be politically incorrect to put ROC up there since the UN Resolution 2758 has already replaced ROC's legal representation with PRC. And finally, neither ROC's constitution nor international laws state that the ROC possesses the sovereignty of Taiwan. It is much better we just leave "Taiwan" the way it is, that way, you do not upset the Chinese for creating another China and the Taiwanese for imposing a foreign trustee government as the owner of their territorial sovereignty. Since the article did not put "Republic of Korea" for S. Korea and "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" for N. Korea... why ROC for Taiwan? It's unecessary. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mafia godfather (talk • contribs) 23:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  just Taiwan is enough 

message: *Not a single ISSN is listed on this page. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to untag this page and tag the individual pages on publications that could have an ISSN listed but do not? --Keesiewonder talk 22:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

message: A discussion has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries/Lists of countries which could affect the inclusion criteria and title of this and other lists of countries.  Editors are invited to participate. Pfainuk talk 13:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move 

message: I thought this category was about a long list of newspapers. Apparently it's now about German newspapers. Also someone was kind enough to put information about Cannes and a new Johnny Depp movie at the bottom.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikidolmetscher (talk • contribs) 14:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is Lists of newspapers a list of German newspapers? 

message: kindly add into template and this article List of Sindhi-language newspapers Jogi 007 (talk) 03:47, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  add List of Sindhi-language newspapers 

message: I added a link to the "Lists of newspapers in Country (United States, India)" to the North America and Asia sections of this page.   This makes it easy to navigate up from country to the rest of the world.
I am trying to revive the Wikipedia:WikiProject Newspapers, so that it is more useful.
