Some people think news has no connection to peoples lives. Therefore, it is a waste of time to read the newspaper and watch television news programs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #news #connection #peoples #lives #waste #time #newspaper #television #programs
There is a widespread belief that newspapers and
television
 podcasts are currently unrealistic for human well-being,
therefore
 investing effort in researching
this
information
 is unnecessary. From a personal perspective, I completely disagree with
this
 assertion because there are still many advantages to regularly updating
news
. On the one hand,
news
 reports or
television
 shows appear to show all of the unpleasant aspects of daily life.
Due to
 our increasingly busy schedules, individuals are really much less aware of the potential negative aspects of their environment. As long as the
news
 is occasionally updated, people will always be able to identify negative aspects and remain aggressive. Without the widespread impact of
television
 programming during the COVID-19 pandemic, the national efficacy of the self-protection campaign and laws would not have been achieved. Contrarily, I have to admit that media outlets like newspapers, articles, and
television
 shows currently exaggerate advertising and
information
 regarding industries like entertainment and commerce that are mostly unconnected to people's private lives.
However
, these contents only make up a small portion of the total amount of
information
; generally, the focus is on extensively updating data of well-established trends of a developing era, particularly the occurrence of digital transformation. The opportunity for citizens to gradually understand the significance of technology and broaden their perspective to adapt to
this
 tendency will be provided by the national coverage of
news
. Considering everything, it is both impossible and debatable to claim that
news
 is irrelevant to everyday folks. Evidently, it might have the effect of disseminating unfavourable
information
 to a large population
while
 simultaneously increasing awareness and providing vital
information
 regarding global and societal trends.
