Nowadays a lot of new channels of
information
 are born thanks to the internet. Some prefer the traditional way, reading a newspaper and others prefer the new and faster way using social networks or other
media
 on their smartphones. In
this
 essay I will discuss both points of view, reminding of what the audience wants in
this
 fast and frenetic world. The most important
media
 of lasts centuries has been represented by newspapers,
this
 form of
information
 is very classic but very strong because is published every day and contains facts about the day before that have been checked and approved;
moreover
 by the
time
 you read it you are fully focused on what you are doing without distractions; but, on the other ,hand
this
 whole process takes
time
,
firstly
 because you have to buy one physically
also
 you have to spend a lot of
time
 reading every
news
.
In contrast
 with
this
 view, we can find modern
media
, that report the latest
news
 as they happen and they keep you informed instantly on what happens in the world, in ,
the
Correct article usage
apply
show examples
addition you can read
this
information
 on the internet wherever and whenever you want; being fast can be seen as a pro but
this
 sometimes leads to a very superficial fact-checking done by reporters that turns, sometimes, into the creation of fake
news
 or misunderstandings. In the end, I think that the most important thing is knowing how to filter the
information
 that we are given; in
this
 world that runs fast and that will run every day faster both the reader and the journalist have to take a step down seeking to the real truth in a reasonable amount of
time
 so new
media
 would be more efficient than newspapers providing same
news
 in less
time
.
