Christian newspapers

Christian newspapers refers to a written publication containing Christian news, information usually printed on low-cost paper called newsprint. The publication generally runs on a combination of the advertising revenue model and distribution revenue so may also feature advertisements. Unlike traditional papers, Christian newspapers generally only feature personal opinions of solicited writers.

Features a newspaper may include are:
* Weather news and forecasts
* An advice column
* Critic reviews of movies, plays, restaurants, etc.
* Editorial opinions
* A gossip column (relatively uncommon in Christian newspapers; more common in Christian youth newspapers)
* Comic strips and other entertainment, such as crosswords, sudoku and horoscopes
* A sports column or section
* A humor column or section
* A food column
* Classified ads are commonly seen in local or small newspapers.

Format
Most modern newspapers are in one of three sizes:
* Broadsheets: 600 mm by 380 mm (23½ by 15 inches), generally associated with more intellectual newspapers, although a trend towards “compact” newspapers is changing this.
* Tabloids: half the size of broadsheets at 380 mm by 300 mm (15 by 11¾ inches), and often perceived as sensationalist in contrast to broadsheets.
* Berliner or Midi: 470 mm by 315 mm (18½ by 12¼ inches)
* Online Because the market for Christian newspapers is more geographically spread than for newspapers which have universal appeal, online solutions are much cheaper and more wide-spread used, also because of lower start-up costs.
