I though it is Die Zeitung. Where do i see the masculine and femine nouns in German?

• die Zeitung = the newspaper

Is a newspaper just defaulted as feminine? Is that what I'm not understanding? Or is die for "the" and eine for "a"?

[davye]

Yes you're right, die = the and eine = a

And yes a newspaper is feminine.
