You have to be careful about trusting newspapers to increase your general knowledge. Most newspapers are slanted. That means they give their news so that it favors one side or the other and once you know which side a particular newspaper is on, you will be able to keep yourself from falling for some of the things they say that may be just plain wrong. You are right that reading newspapers can help you gain English vocabulary.
