Other forms: newspapers
A newspaper is the printed sheets of daily news people read over coffee. Folded, inky, and out of date by the evening.
The word covers the organisation as well as the object, so a newspaper can employ two hundred people. British English shortens it to paper in speech almost always. The physical form brought its own vocabulary — the front page, the back page, a broadsheet, a tabloid — and its own second life, since old newspaper is what you wrap glasses in and light fires with. Most papers now have more readers online than in print.

Shares are an estimate: a language model read 26 sentences found in the wild and placed 26 of them on a sense — a count of our sample, not a measurement of English.
