Which code does this activity belong in?
Newspaper publishers produce and distribute newspapers in print or electronic form, performing the full range of operations from gathering and writing news content to selling advertisements. This classification distinguishes newspapers from periodicals, which publish content at less frequent intervals, and from directories and mailing lists, which compile factual information rather than news reporting. Publishers of greeting cards, calendars, and art prints are classified elsewhere as other publishers, even when produced in electronic form.
