How to read Newspaper for CSS

As we know that CSS candidate has to manage 12 subjects and he has limited time. Newspaper plays key role in CSS preparation for instance
It helps in preparation of current affairs paper directly
It helps acquiring material for Essay ( for essays on current issues only)
It helps you in many ways indirectly for English Composition
It helps build your opinion
It helps acquiring facts and figures and updated knowledge for many of optional subjects as well such as sociology, journalism, international relations etc.


First of all make a register of current affairs. Divide it into three main portions
MCQs
National Issues
International Issues


MCQs
This portion will be reserved for sifting material for MCQs of current affairs paper.
Following are key areas for MCQs
Names of Presidents , Prime Ministers and other heads of states of key countries
Capital cities of the important countries of the world
Heads of international organizations such as World Bank , IMF , ADB etc
News agencies
Currencies
Major international events
Major international sports events etc


National Issues
Make sub sections of various national issues confronting Pakistan that are likely to be asked in the forthcoming CSS examination.
For Example
Balochistan issue
Water crisis
Energy crisis
Sustainability of economy
Terrorism
NFC award etc


International Issues

Make sub sections of various international issues confronting the world that are likely to be asked in the forthcoming CSS examination.
For Example
Iraq
Iran
Afghanistan
Palestine
Terrorism
China supremacy
Rise of Russia etc
For reading purpose we can divide newspaper (here from newspaper we will assume DAWN) in four sections
1-Main page
2-Editorial page
3-World in focus
4-Other special editions


Main Page
Keeping in view above sections, have a look at the main page and read those pieces of news which are related to the above issues only. If there is any major or important development in those issues than note down in the relevant section only the development not the whole story.
If there is no news related to any of the above issue than those who have recently started reading newspaper should read at least one piece of news from main page.


Editorial Page
Having cursory look at other pages, move on to the editorial page. Editorials are a MUST DAILY read. Read main article for two months continuously if you are a fresh reader, than you may skip if you feel like it being the repetition.
Similarly, note down the important facts of the issues in their respective sections.


World in Focus
In this section the writers are mostly foreigners. Their style of writing and the way of looking at various issues is worth noting. Study at least one. Note down the way they take up and analyze the issue.

Other special editions
Do read following
One article from Business Review on every Monday
One article from Encounter on every Saturday.
From Science dot com, any thing related to EDS directly.
Sunday magazine any thing useful for any subject of CSS
Friday feature is a MUST read on every Friday.
