Although more and more people read news on the internet, newspapers will remain the most important source of news. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

It is often argued that even though an increasing number of men and women get
news
from the
web
, the print
media
will remain the most reliable way to get the
news
.
This
essay completely disagrees with
this
statement because it is much cheaper to be aware of the surrounding by using the
web
and it is
also
convenient. The trend of buying the newspaper is on descendency because
people
do not want to spend extra money on it.
This
is to say that it is much cheaper to read the
news
on the website because, whether or not they read the newspapers, almost everyone has an internet connection in their homes,
thus
they do not have to pay extra money for it.
For example
, we used to buy the newspaper almost 5 years ago, when we did not have a
web
connection in our home,
however
, we do not purchase it anymore since we have got an internet connection. The
second
reason
people
prefer to use the internet for getting the
news
is that it is more convenient to read on the
web
.
This
is because they do not have to go to the newspapers shop and they get the
news
easily from the social
media
websites,
such
as Facebook, and Youtube, where it is much easy to read about the topic they want.
For instance
, a recent survey reported that 81 per cent of
people
in India get the
news
from social
media
.
However
, often it is reported that the
news
which was doing rounds on social
media
was fake,
thus
, it should be checked thoroughly. In conclusion, some believe that the print
media
will stay as the most important platform to get the
news
from,
although
the large number of
people
moving to the
web
to get
news
, I do not agree with
this
because it is easy to read the
news
on the website and
people
do not have to pay extra money for that.
