More and more people no longer read newspapers. They get news about the world through the Internet. Do you think it is a negative or positive development?
Many
people
read the news
daily to discover important occurrences, such
as the global economy, healthcare, weather and many others. The Internet
is very powerful today as the major source of information
centres. In this
essay, I will discuss how easy to access information
on the Internet
and the rise of digital news
in social media
.
First
of all, people
can easily access the news
using their personal devices, for example
, mobile phones or tablets which can access through the web browser or applications at any time. Because the technology is more affordable, people
use it as their communication and companion device daily. News
agencies are increasingly digitising their content for better reachability; therefore
, the usage of social media
has increased to publish the news
. Since the production cost for digital news
is relatively cheaper, this
will become a game changer in the long run. The more news
is available on the internet
, the more people
will save the cost and time to get the information
.
On the other hand
, some people
still prefer to stick with the newspaper in either paper or digital format. One of the reasons is the fake news
and information
which are not verified by any authorities or actual news
agencies. Although
freedom of speech is supported on the internet
, that can mislead some people
who easily trust the information
on the internet
. Unless the moderation of the internet
is possible, some communities will still publish fake news
in order to gain traction, including advertisements, number of views or users. The smaller the number of people
reading the paper-based newspaper, the more publishers will push further
on digital news
.
In conclusion, more people
will not read the newspaper with the rise of social media
and other forms of digital news
. The advantages of getting a wide range of news
easily outweigh the rise of fake news
on social media
, thus
I think the Internet
is the future.Submitted by tthtoonmm on
