Some individuals are of the view that other media are the better root for news. However, some individuals believe that the best way of getting news is through newspaper. The essay will discuss both views and give the writer's opinion. To begin with, due to the advancement of technology, the media's are great source of updates and information. Such as the radios, television, social media handle's ( Facebook, Twitter and others). One can listen to news when driving or working at the same time. The is no need to park or pause whatever you are doing and to read papers and it's convenient too. Another point is reading information on media can give you the access to read other people's opinion and suggestions. Their views gives you clear understanding about the whole issue.

I strongly believe that growing food locally would bring more opportunities to the local market and nature.
