The
newspaper
had remained a viable source of knowledge in the 20th century. At those times, the Newspaper
was the only accessible medium of getting informed with surrounding and the latest happenings. With the rapid insurgency in the world
of technology, a number of innovations led to the modification in process of acquiring knowledge through the newspapers
. Several causes have contributed towards its downfall, yet the existence of newspapers
still reside in today's world
. A few of the several solutions applicable are discussed below.
Enumerating a few of the major factors in the downward spiral of news
consumption through newspapers
, firstly
, with the mass growth of social media platforms
and the easily accessible nature of everything on the aforementioned mediums has led to the redundancy in the usage of newspaper
in daily lives or through the television. People can now get easily updated with events and the latest happenings locally and globally around the world
within few seconds. Thus
, enabling limited usage of newspapers
and televisions. For instance
, through Facebook, users get various news
feeds on different genres of discussions in no matter of time( at a doorstep of a fingertip).
Secondly
, with the technological advancements and cut-off pricing competition in the market, a plethora of news
channels
have shifted their focus on adapting effective channels
of communications such
as disseminating the news
through e-newspaper
instead
of the traditional way of paper-based magazines. As it curtails the cost of miscellaneous expenses that occur in printing and hefty stationery charges, thus
letting various news
agencies opt for an online mode of communication. Namely, one of the oldest and popular newspaper
company in Pakistan Dawn news
, has effectively reduced application of printed newspapers
thus
reducing it printing cost and moving towards a more feasible and accessible online newspaper
platform by the masses.
Interestingly, on the contrary
, a lot of information
shared on social media platforms
lack the element of reliability thus
discrediting its source. As the majority of shared information
lacks genuineness. For instance
, often information
shared on social platforms
is misled to attract views and subscriptions thus
ultimately misleading the consumer of such
news
. Hence
restrictions on news
availability through online social platforms
should be imposed.
Moreover
, the habit of reading a newspaper
should be instilled from a young age as it strengthens reading and writing skills, improves vocabulary and enables students to be updated with recent ongoing researches and various projects.
In conclusion, albeit the consumption of newspapers
and news
on TV channels
have been spiralling downward for years, yet its non-existence in our practical lives is impractical. Keeping in mind above mentioned solutions, a revival can be forecasted in the world
of information
through newspapers
and TV channels
