People no longer use newspapers and television because the internet plays the same role as them. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Newspapers
 and
television
 have played a key and vital role in the development of our
country
. During the emergency period in 1978
newspapers
 were widely circulated across the
country
 in knowing the
people
 about their situation. In the early 1980
television
 emerged as a new form of medium. In early ,1990 the
internet
 was introduced globally and since
then
 it has become the fastest way of the medium communicating the news to the
people
. At present
print
 and electronic
media
 are facing very tight competition from many of the
internet
 platforms available online. To some ,extent I agree that the
internet
 has replaced
newspapers
 and
television
 in some sectors of society. For ,example in a
country
 like India only 60% of the population live in cities and the remaining 40% left in rural areas. The
people
 living in the urban areas are very much familiar with online
media
 when compared to
print
 and electronic
media
 and
this
 is because of the present technology adopted by the service providers.
Further
, it is well known that all the leading daily
newspapers
 are available on the
internet
 platform which has become easier for the customer to view the paper on her mobile no matter where they are.
Secondly
, in rural areas
people
 still rely on
print
media
 rather than the
internet
,
this
 is because in our
country
 only 35% of the
people
 use smartphones and the remaining 65% are still using analogue mobile phones which shows the reason behind the existence of the newspaper, a
television
 in the fast-moving world.
Moreover
 public totally rely on
print
media
 news rather than an online platform because of factors
such
 as tampering with data and other technical-related issues.
Finally
, most the
people
 prefer
internet
 over
newspapers
 and
television
 in developed countries across the globe.
