Dear sir/Madam,

I am writing to you about the watch I bought from your shop on 12 May. I enclose copies of the guarantee and the receipt.

In your advert you claim that the watch is waterproof. However, the first time I went swimming, the watch stopped working. When I took them back to the shop, the assistant said it was my fault and I hadn’t read the instructions carefully.

I would like you to refund my money. Unless I receive a satisfactory reply, I will write to the Consumer Association.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

P. Black.

THE MEDIA

Necessity is the mother of invention.

A word is enough for the wise.

Read and translate the text

News and entertainment are communicated in a number of different ways, using different media.The media include print media such as newspapers, books and magazines, and electronic media such as the radio and television. The print media supplies the information in a written form through the press (people who write for newspapers and magazines) and publishing companies, which produce them. Radio and television channels or stations produce and distribute audio and audio- visual programs or broadcasts which cover the main events and developments. Recently there has been considerable expansion of multimedia businesses which provide integrated media services containing sound, pictures and text, accessed by audiences around the world through networks such as the Internet.

National and local newspapers in the USA

Because of the size of the USA, there are few national newspapers. Apart from the popular USA Today only the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and the Wall Street Journal have anything like a nationwide readership, mainly thanks to satellite technology. The Times is generally regarded as America's most prestigious paper. The Journal is the leading and financial and business newspaper and currently has a circulation of about two million, the highest in the country. But there are influential regional papers, among them the Washington Post, the New York Daily News, the Philadelphia Enquirer, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Examiner and the Christian Science Monitor (not a religious paper, despite its title). USA Today, founded in1962, is the leading popular daily paper, with short news reports, lively feature stories and items of practical advice. The tabloid weekly newspaper, such as the National Enquirer and the Star with the circulation of around 4.5 and 3.5 respectively, are sold in supermarkets throughout the county.

There are more than 1,500 daily newspapers in the USA. Each one is usually sold only in one part of the country, e.g. in a city, but they cover national and international news. In larger cities, there is often more than one newspaper and the different ones express different political opinions.
