In the era of social media, the majority of individuals are keen on reading the news online. Regardless, the others may find newspapers more entertaining to observe. I believe, that
this
traditional way of gathering the world's latest updates should remain constant.
Belonging to a certain generation may better complete the following statement. Linking Words
Firstly
, the Baby Boomers (aged 55 and above) find the Internet as a perplexed system. Most of them live in the suburban areas, where they are used to receive their dailies in the mornings. Linking Words
Also
, the bulk of news-related apps (e.g. Flip Board) require several updates for a more matured audience. Linking Words
Secondly
, there is a specific category of people who are more likely to flip the pages Linking Words
instead
of swiping left-right. Linking Words
Thirdly
, some individuals have strong relationships with traditions. Linking Words
For example
, in the New York Times, you may witness a highlighted rubric called "Weddings and Ceremonies", where a future couple announces their nuptials. The custom has been operating since the 18th century.
Meanwhile, the Millennials (aged 18-25) are reluctantly following the headlines. Linking Words
However
, it is impossible for them to avoid the hottest issues in social media. Linking Words
For instance
, Facebook and Instagram have invented "cookies" - the encrypted "bites" that keep an information regarding your favourite topics. Once you occasionally visit a page of the Post, the article you were curious about would appear with the same force. Linking Words
Hence
, your personal feed would be filled with the related news pieces. Linking Words
Nonetheless
, it is indubitable that the Internet is the fastest and the least time-consuming source. Linking Words
Consequently
, there is no need to purchase dozens of newspapers to get the news.
In conclusion, online media is slowly taking over the planet, following the tendency of converting a plethora of printed editorials into digital apps. Linking Words
However
, in my opinion, the newspapers are still the most reliable sources, due to the dissemination of fake news on the Internet.Linking Words
