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?

It is common at the present time to see people getting updates on the latest news from the internet rather than the traditional method of reading a magazine. I would argue that electronic sources of news will gradually replace that of the press. Newspapers remain an important source of news for several reasons. The

first

of these is that the older generation still prefer to read their news

this

way, which is because they have traditionally bought a journal over the years and so do not wish to change or simply do not know how to do so online in some cases.

In addition

to

this

a daily

also

comes with other supplements,

such

as magazines and television guides, and sources of entertainment,

such

as crosswords.

This

makes it more attractive for some than going online.

However

, though newspapers may not disappear completely, the Internet is likely to become, the most dominant source of news over time.

This

is primarily because younger people tend to read the news online and prefer not to pay for it, so those reading newspapers, the older generations, will gradually decline.

This

links in with the

second

reason, which is that as media companies start to see a drop in income from newspapers, printing them will become unprofitable and they will be forced to find ways to make money from news online. In conclusion,

although

newspapers remain popular today, they will gradually be replaced by the desire to read the news through electronic sources.

This

may be a sad loss given their history, but unfortunately it is an unavoidable development.
