Newsprint is a low-cost, non-archival paper that is primarily used for printing newspapers. It is characterized by its rough texture and high absorbency, which allows for quick drying of ink. The paper is typically made from recycled pulp, making it an environmentally friendly option for mass printing. Due to its affordability, newsprint is also used for other printed materials such as flyers, brochures, and packaging. While it is not designed for long-term preservation, its widespread use in the publishing industry highlights its importance in disseminating information to the public.
