In many countries, very few young people read newspapers or follow the news on TV. What do you think are the causes of this? What solutions can you suggest?
In today's fast-paced world,
newspapers
and television are considered to be traditional information sources. However
, nowadays, many youngsters are not making use of these types of mediums. In this
essay, I will expound on the reasons behind this
problem
as well as
some solutions that can be taken to solve it.
There are a number of adequate causes behind this
issue. Firstly
, the most important and main one is the Internet
. A lack of interest in the news
is also
due to
the fact that young people are fascinated by new technology such
as computers and also
the Internet
. As a result
of this
, there is lower interest in traditional news
formats, which are considered unappealing and unfashionable. Another cause, nowadays, most newspapers
and news
programmes are designed for an adult audience and are not presented in a format that teenagers find attractive. Few youngsters read newspapers
because the language is too difficult and the style is usually quite serious, that is
, not attractive and not striking for children.
There are some strategies that can tackle this
problem
. The first is to have news
agencies present the news
in formats that are appealing to the young. The easiest way to do this
would be present news
on internet
sites that are designed for a younger audience. Another way to confront the problem
is to have schools involved in the publication of regular school newspapers
. Recent local, national and international news
events could be included, although
schools should also
encourage pupils to be involved in the writing of articles. Then
these newspapers
could be distributed to all pupils which means a great number of young individuals would regularly read news
stories.
To sum up
, the internet
, new technologies, and lack of interest are the main factors because of young generation avoids reading newspapers
and watching new channels. However
, there are some possible remedies that can be taken to reduce the problem
