Strong points:
You can have a better understanding about your neighborhood and/or your society.
You get to know the potential threats to your personal safety.
you get to know the crime rate,so you would stay away from the bad area.
you get to see lots of new products from the ad on the newspaper.
you get to have discount coupons so you can get cheaper groceries.
Weak Points:
sometimes,you would have some information that you don't need to know about.i.e.,Mark Cuban who owns Dallas Mavericks has started a project to help jobless people pitch in their ideas.
sometimes you will be scared about that there is a sex offender live right next door to you.
You get the wrong idea about the crime rate which didn't very much for the past twenty years.You though crime rate is a big issue because you get to read all the news about serious crime in your society.
You might receive too much junk information from the ad.
You might be overwhelmed by the inserts that put in the newspaper.
