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

 may be unavailable to read the

Therefore
, there are a number of times when watching a TV or reading a newspaper would be the best way to read the

. So, online

 is not the best option for everyone due to connectivity issues. Since more traditional methods of learning about the

 as newspapers and television are trustworthy, well-organized, and easy to access, I believe that they are better than using the
