Definition
报章 is a formal or literary term for 'newspapers' as a collective category, often paired with 杂志 (magazines) in the set phrase 报章杂志. In modern Chinese it is less common in speech than 报纸, but appears in written and formal contexts like journalism and criticism. The older sense of 'correspondence' or 'reply letters' is essentially archaic.
