In many countries, very few young people read newspapers or follow the news on TV. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest?
In the modern days, youngsters watching
newspapers
or news
on TV have become a rare sight in many countries. It is believed that they have lost the culture that people have been doing every single morning.
First
of all, young people don't watch the news
is because they are able to gain news
from the internet. In the era of technology, almost everyone is connected via the internet either through mobile phones or laptops that are easily accessed. Moreover
, social network platform such
as Instagram and Facebook,
contains thousands and thousands of information all over the world. They allow teens to obtain information with a few simple clicks. Remove the comma

As a result
, they neither have an interest in watching newspapers
noor TV news
programs. To solve this
problem, schools should educate children
on the importance of reading newspapers
and nurture their interest in it from a young age.
On the other hand
, parent behaviour is also
the reason causing them not to watch the news
. Parents
nowadays are raising their children
surrounded by electronic gadgets all the time. For instance
, they use their phones in front of the children
to either entertain themselves or to distract the kids while feeding. Children
, who learn behaviours through their parents
' influence, follow what their parents
did naturally. In order to tackle this
problem, parents
should make conscious efforts to ensure they do things that they want their children
to duplicate; it can be reading newspapers
or watching the news
on television in front of them and explaining its importance.
In conclusion, although
newspaper editors and the media industry face threats from growing technology, these problems are not insurmountable. In my view, it is the responsibility of the parents
and schools to tackle this
issue and they should begin by considering some of the solutions proposed above.Submitted by Raven
