People book lost and found advertisements in newspapers for several reasons:

Wider Reach: Newspapers have a wide readership, both in print and online. By placing a lost and found ad in a newspaper, individuals can reach a large audience quickly, increasing the chances of someone spotting their lost item or legal documents.

Targeted Audience: Many people who read newspapers are local residents or commuters within a specific area. Placing a lost and found ad in a local newspaper helps target the audience most likely to have come across the lost items such as passport, birth certificate, Society share certificate, mark sheet, property documents and other legal documents

Trustworthiness: Newspapers are often seen as reliable sources of information. People may believe that if they place a lost and found ad in a newspaper, it will be taken seriously and may lead to the safe return of their lost documents.

Accessibility: Newspapers are accessible to a wide range of demographics, including those who may not have access to the internet or social media platforms where lost and found ads are commonly posted.

Longevity: Unlike online platforms where posts can quickly get buried in feeds or expire, newspapers often keep records of past issues. This means that a lost and found ad placed in a newspaper may have a longer lifespan and can be referred back to by both the advertiser and those who may have found the lost item or any legal documents.

Overall, booking lost and found advertisements in newspapers remains a popular choice for individuals seeking to recover lost items or legal documents due to the wide reach, targeted audience, trustworthiness, accessibility, and longevity that newspapers offer.
