Printed
newspapers
 had been the main way of transmission of information in the recent past. But, some people say that we do not need printed
newspapers
 anymore. I strongly agree with the above view and I am going to explain why in
this
 essay.
Newspapers
 are printed forms of media which publish on daily basis. Positive features of them are the reliability and responsibility of the authors since they are an authorised service-providing company regarding
news
 transmission.
Moreover

, they come out every morning but, there are numerous other ways based on the internet or mobile phone network system of receiving constant
news
 updates instantly.
Second

 of instant searching on sophisticated hand devices. And

On the other hand
, speedy information transmission is required in
this
 twenty-
first
 century whilst most things have been digitalised. In case of an emergency or a natural or manmade imminent disaster, instant
news
 is important to save human lives. If there is an earthquake resulting in an imminent tsunami,
newspapers

Finally
,

Therefore
