Newspaper articles are one of the cornerstones of print journalism. They are intended to cover events of public interest, whether these are social or political.
Es un texto que expresa la opinión que redacta el mismo público al cual es dirigido, con la finalidad de encontrar en el lector la formación de la opinión y el conocimiento del tema.	Newspaper articles share the same point of view of their readership and have the intention of letting the reader know something about the given topic and influencing their opinion on this.
El habla de un artículo periodístico es sencillo, puesto que no necesita que se explique a profundidad, sino que se exponga desde un punto de vista hacia los demás con fines de buscar su opinión sobre el tema.	The language of a newspaper article is simple. Newspaper articles do not aim to give an in-depth analysis of a topic but rather intend to expose others to a particular point of view in the hope of provoking a reaction to that topic.
No necesita de un vocabulario especializado ni preciso, sino algo que sea muy cotidiano y evidente, con sentido y que abra y aclare dudas al lector.	It is not necessary to use highly specific terminology. Rather, the language used is simple and everyday, which is easy to understand and which clarifies the reader's doubts.
Tampoco requiere de tener un nivel de argumentación largo, sino algo que abra las puertas de la imaginación de los lectores a seguir buscando información.	Neither do newspaper articles involve long, drawn-out arguments, given that their intention is more to stimulate the interest of readers and encourage them to seek out further information on a topic.
