Although more and more people read the news on the internet, newspaper will remain the most important source of the news for the majority of people. How far do you agree or disagree?

#people #news #internet #newspaper #source #majority
There is an opinion that
people
 still consider that
newspaper
 as an important news publisher rather than the internet. I disagree with the viewpoint because these days
people
 are too busy to allocate their time for reading the
newspaper
 and it's not convenient to bring paper everywhere.
Although
 knowing something new that happened around us is important,
people
 have many things to do even just reading daily
information
 in the
newspaper
.
However
, with new features on the internet
such
 as trending topics or
information
 tags
people
 easily filter their news consumption.
Moreover
, if they need certain
information
 they can search for anything throughout the search engine. Yet another reason is
newspaper
 will add another thing that
people
 should pack in their bags. Meanwhile, with a mobile phone or , a computer they easily can access any
information
 they need.
For example
, when you don't have anything to do and want to read something on public transportation it will be more suitable for you to read on the mobile phone, will not disturb other
people
's space. To sum up, newspapers can not match with
people
's situation nowadays regarding time and practicality.
