Although more and more people read news on the Internet, newspaper will remain the most important source of news. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, people read the news on digital platforms rather than using a traditional method of reading news in a
newspaper
. I believe gradually
this
traditional way of reading news will be replaced by digital news.
That is
why I completely disagree with the opinion that the most vital source of news will be the
newspaper
in the future. Electronic news is the
first
choice of the younger generation these days because of several reasons. The
first
of them is that young masses like to read the news without paying money which is unlike in the case of a
newspaper
, where one must buy it
first
to read the news. Plenty of websites and applications are available on the Internet and smartphones to fetch the latest news that too without paying a single penny which makes digital news
first
choice of youngsters.
In addition
, a
newspaper
is liked by older generation because they are not much familiar with current digital platforms;
however
, the younger generation is more inclined towards reading news online and they would still prefer the same medium for reading news even though they become old and
thus
, the users of
newspaper
will reduce gradually.
Besides
free
access
to news, accessibility is
also
one of the major factors for the popularity of electronic news. One can
access
the news anytime and anywhere using electronic gadgets. A
newspaper
provides all the news on the
next
day, whereas, with the digital platform one can be informed with the latest news immediately. For an instance, journals' editors
first
collect all the news for a day
then
it gets printed at the night and delivered on the
next
day morning,
however
, digital news gets published over the internet as soon as it happens. These reasons make me believe that unfortunately,
this
traditional way of spreading news through
newspaper
will be fade away gradually. In conclusion, I strongly believe that digital news will replace the magazine in future because it is not only free to
access
but
also
easy to
access
.
