Although nowadays people are reading news through Internet newspapers still remain of value. Do you agree or disagree?

Much has changed for the
news
 industry since the rise of the
Internet
.
However
, I agree with the given statement that
newspapers
 are still of great importance. A number of arguments surround my opinion. The main advantage of the printed
newspaper
 is that it does not require any sophisticated, cumbersome technical equipment to read.
This
 offers the reader a high level of flexibility. The printed
newspaper
 can basically be read in any place at any time.
For instance
, a person may read the paper while commuting to and from work. He may just have enough time to go through the headlines in the morning, and
then
 he may go through the
news
, which interests him later on.
Secondly
, the reader can absorb the information offered at his own pace. What is more, the level of importance of each
news
 story is made more obvious by

. Readers will always want to know about things closest to home, and no
news
 organization is better equipped or staffed to supply
this
 information than a
newspaper
. To add to it, the
newspapers
also
 have coupons and advertisements for stores having sales.
Finally

 that day is still very far when each and every person will have a computer and an
Internet
 connection. Undoubtedly, the appetite for
news
 from the
Internet
 is growing, but it's just one part of a varied diet. The average person gets
news
 from a variety of sources-some online, some from TV or radio and some from
newspapers
 and magazines. It is irrefutable that the technical potential of the
Internet
 greatly surpasses that of

 there is the possibility of regular updates, access to archives, rapid access to a large number of
newspapers
, and being paperless it is very eco-friendly.
However
, I still believe that the printed
newspaper
 is the king of all
news
 media. Summing up, the online
newspaper
 and the printed
newspaper
 are not mutually exclusive. One can use both and many people do. Online
news
 has not led to any decline in the circulation of
newspapers

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
