a type of newspaper that is published after midday
An evening paper is a newspaper that is published in the late afternoon or evening, typically offering updates on events that occurred earlier in the day. It is designed to provide readers with the latest news, especially for those who may not have had access to the morning edition. Evening papers often focus on breaking news, sports scores, and other time-sensitive information. While many evening papers were once common, their popularity has decreased with the rise of 24-hour news sources and digital media, though some still exist in certain areas.
