Media is the only source, where we can get to know all the information all over the world, sitting at home. Reading newspapers and watching TV would help to know the global
news
. Unfortunately, the major concern is young people are not habituated to
this
practice. In
this
essay, we will examine the causes of the problem and suggest few steps that people could follow, young people especially to cultivate the habit of paying attention to current affairs. Two main factors are behind the fact that why youngsters hesitate to watch the
news
. The
first
and foremost is, they don't have the patience or time to read the headlines in the daily paper or watch the
news
.
For example
, their school or college starts so early, so it is very difficult for them to spend some on daily event paper.
Secondly
, it mainly talks about politics or the well-known environmental issues which the youngsters are not interested in.
For instance
, poverty, famine which is a quite boring topic for them.
Moreover
, all the details disclosed in
news
is not vivid and true. As a solution, young students can keep up to date by listening to the
news
online .
For example
, they can listen to the
news
while they are travelling to school or college or work from home
this
saves time and help them to stay updated.
However
, it is better if they start reading the newspaper daily because it will not only helps them to know the daily
news
but
also
increase their capacity to read faster and increase their vocabulary. To start with, if they are not interested in reading the entire
news
, they can skip a few and concentrate only on the
news
which they are interested in. Say ,
for example
, Sports
news
they should start reading daily and eventually get to read the rest of the global incidents as well. In conclusion, in the end, it is necessary to keep ourselves updated on current affairs because if there is a drought or flood or earthquake, we will come to know from
news
on television or newspaper.
Hence
, it would help us to plan things
accordingly
and stay safe.
