Newspaper week and related anniversary

Each year from October 15th to 21st is "Newspaper Week". The voluntary Japan Newspaper Association established the anniversary in recognition of the role of newspaper in society. Print newspaper may not have the role it once had, and online newspapers are also facing rapid changes in the face of AI, but in Japan, perhaps more than in Europe, newspapers are still in demand. 

Within newspaper week there are different events and further anniversaries. For example, today, and October 20th annually is "Newspaper Advertising Day". The purpose is to promote the importance of newspaper advertising to sustain the industry. On this day annually there is a newspaper advertising awards event. The Newspaper Advertising Award was set up in 1981 and seeks to honor newspaper advertisements and open up new possibilities for the industry.

I love that you can still read a newspaper in many waiting rooms in Japan. For example, in hospitals and / or dentists, it is still quite common for there to be a newspaper out that you can read while waiting. My in-laws still get a newspaper delivered daily in Japan. Back home in Ireland, I rarely see newspapers anymore. I don't even see them for sale very often either. 

Do you see newspapers in your home country? Do you see them and / or read them in Japan?
