Newsprint is a type of paper specifically designed for printing newspapers. It is typically made from recycled paper and is known for its low cost and high absorbency, which allows it to hold ink well. The paper is usually lightweight and has a rough texture, making it suitable for mass production of printed materials. Due to its affordability, newsprint is widely used not only for newspapers but also for other publications like magazines and brochures. However, it is less durable than other types of paper, often yellowing and deteriorating over time, which limits its longevity in archival contexts.
