It is becoming more common to read the

because we can access it easily on our computers or smartphones.
However
, I disagree with the statement that using the
Internet
is the best way to learn about the
news
every day. The reasons for my opinion are as follows.
First
, I believe that the
news
that we can read in newspapers or see on television will be more reliable. Nowadays on the

many of the

, the

because it is not as reliable. I
also
believe that reading the

online can be difficult to follow. Many online

websites or social media websites are full of advertisements or pop-up ads. They are

not well organized: it is difficult to find the
news
that you are looking for without using the 'search' bar. Sometimes, even when using the search option, relevant
news
is difficult to locate. Because newspapers and television have been around for so long, we already know how to find the
news
that is
relevant to us. Though it can be easy to access the
Internet
in many places, there are times when it is

too far underground, or in a developing country. In these situations, the
Internet
may be unavailable to read the
news
.
Therefore
, there are a number of times when watching a TV or reading a newspaper would be the best way to read the
news
. So, online
news
is not the best option for everyone due to connectivity issues. Since more traditional methods of learning about the
news
such
as newspapers and television are trustworthy, well-organized, and easy to access, I believe that they are better than using the
Internet
