Many people believe that it is a waste of time to read the

news which

Accept comma addition

news, which

they think is irrelevant to what is happening

Suggestion

our own life. I totally disagree. On the one hand, when people think that news is unrelated to their life, they tend to think about

international and entertaining news

Suggestion

the international and entertaining news

. For them, most reports on international emergencies and events that they read about

are

Suggestion

being

pointless as they are happening outside of their local community.

Also

, news coverage of celebrities on TV or the newspaper is purely entertaining and is meaningless to those who show no interest in

entertainment

Suggestion

entertaining

Thus

, reading the news seems to be purposeless.

However

, they seem to be much biased, as any piece of news can be remarkably helpful in our lives.

For example

, the news about celebrities could be valuable for the fans resorting to the news media to stay informed about who and what they are interested in. The

second

example that could be compelling to prove the importance of reading news is the information about the outbreak of

coronavirus

in Italy. If we-know-who had not ignored

this

state of emergency declared officially via the mass media and blindly visited the affected area and returned home without an honest health declaration as instructed on the news, they might not have been quarantined and been a factor to spread the disease.

Otherwise

, those concerned and informed could take corresponding actions to stay

safe right

Accept comma addition

safe, right

away and keep their community safe. In conclusion, it seems to be not a good idea to think that there is no interrelation between the news and our lives.

Therefore

, I do not agree that reading news is a time-wasting activity and I think that people should read the news to be up-to-date.
