Newspapers, among the oldest forms of media, exemplify strength as a communication tool even in the digital age. Acting as a prosthesis, they extend our communication abilities, connecting communities through shared information. They provide critical insight into global events and the lives of diverse individuals, allowing us to remain informed and engaged. This duality positions newspapers as both a prosthetic extension of our communication and a mirror reflecting society's realities. Through them, we can see not only ourselves but our neighbors and the world at large.

Newspapers Newspaper is one of the oldest form of media that we know . Its existence even in this modern era of technology shows its strength as a medium of communication.
Newspaper as prosthesis Communication is an integral part of our daily lives. Without communication life would become stagnant. The strength of a community depends on how well its members communicate. The most basic way in which we communicate with each other is through word of mouth. It helps us be aware of what is happening around us. Newspapers acts as an extension of this communication between people . That is it covers the news happening around the world and involving a lot more people. Thus it acts as a prosthesis.
Newspaper as Mirror Newspaper gives us a clear idea of all the happenings around the world. It gives us an insight into the lives of different people around the life. Thus it gives us the feeling of a mirror. It makes us feel like we are looking into a mirror , and in this mirror we see not just ourselves , but also the others who are standing next to us . Hence the analogy of the newspaper to a mirror.
