Although more and more people read news on the internet, newspapers will remain the most important source of news. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In today’s world, it is common to see people getting news updates from the internet rather than the traditional method of reading newspapers.

However

, some people argue that the

newspaper

will remain the most important

source

of news.

Moreover

, in my opinion, the electronic sources of news will soon replace the newspapers. The

newspaper

has remained the most important

source

of news for several decades and some people believe that it will remain the most important

source

in the future as well. The people behind

this

believe are mostly from generation X (older people). There are several reasons behind

this

thought.

Firstly

, older people have traditionally bought the

newspaper

over the years and still prefer to read the

newspaper

.

Secondly

, older people are less familiar with the latest technology, which hinders their use of electronic sources.

Thirdly

, the

newspaper

also

includes other entertainment material

such

as magazines and crosswords.

Therefore

, due to the above-mentioned reasons older people still prefer newspapers and argue that the

newspaper

will remain the major

source

of news in the future.

However

, the

newspaper

may not completely disappear, the internet is likely to become more dominant sources of news in the future. In today’s modern world, digitalisation has become a new sensation and poses a great threat to the traditional

newspaper

. Various media agencies have already started the process of digitalisation by reducing the number of publishing printed materials.

For example

, Life, a very famous American magazine company, started in 1972 completely shut down the printed magazines and went online in 2000. In conclusion,

although

the

newspaper

has remained the most important

source

of news in the past, and the older generation still prefers it to get news updates; electronic sources will gradually replace the

newspaper

.

In addition

to

this

, electronic sources are cheaper and more conveniently accessible.
