This legitimate question, if measured against the distribution rates of newspapers in the Arab world, will give us an honest picture of the absence of the luxury of owning newspapers and reading them through the traditional medium of reading framed by paper, inks, and printing presses, and in the end with a number placed on the copy price box, which may not be possessed by anyone who wants to know or who possesses it.
