Some think newspapers are the best method for reading the news while others think other media is better. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.
In recent years, many have argued that the best way to read the
news
is no longer in newspapers
. In my opinion, though there are sentimental reasons to prefer newspapers
, newer forms of media are far superior.
Those who continue to value newspapers
tend to be older individuals. They have typically maintained this
habit for years or even decades. Over such
a long period of reading newspapers
, it is logical that they will have developed an emotional attachment to the act of buying and reading a physical copy of the news
. For example
, The New York Times continues to publish and sell physical copies of their paper in select markets. The people buying these papers could save time and money by reading the same articles online,
but might be attracted to the feel and memories surrounding physical Remove the comma

newspapers
.
However
, new forms of media allow audiences a wide range of choices that enhance the overall
experience. A user accessing a media website can not only read an article from the convenience of their phone or laptop, but also
take advantage of features like automatically generated text-to-speech, videos, links to related content, the ability to share an article, and more. All these features are also
complemented by the ability to select a diversity of news
sources. Instead
of reading a single news
outlet that might have a liberal or conservative bias, a discerning reader can seek out multiple viewpoints and find the news
that is
most trustworthy over time.
In conclusion, despite the respect due to
the history of journalism, there is now a wide array of better options online. Individuals should nonetheless
be wary of less trustworthy sources.Submitted by rvaishali23 on
