Some people think that newspapers are the best way to learn news. However, others believe that they can learn news better through other media.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
There is a debate over what is the most optimal way of learning news, with some people saying that newspapers are the best method, and others arguing that media is better. While I acknowledge conveniences of the media, such as instant updates and access to many sites, I strongly argue in favor of the former view considering several factors, including the preference of the majority, their limited harm to our eyes, and also, they are referred as a more or less reliable information source.
Media can be an optimal method to getting news. It offers instant updates and provides real-time announcement to keep informed of something immediately. Whereas the paper-based news should be waited for a certain amount of time to be delivered, there is no such a limitation when it comes to online ways. Another major upside of this online method is that people have access to a number of web sites and channels that post news. This accessibility is believed to provide a range of sources without being limited at just one possible source.
However, despite these positive sides, there are some concerns as well. Information that is posted instantly with captions like “Breaking News” online often turns out to be fake, as it is not checked for the sake of immediate reaction. Falling victim to misinformation, I believe, cannot be excused by reading unverified news hastily. Additionally, when people read news by several publications, which could post with an element of bias, can cause controversy or confusion, as everyone has different subjective views. At this point, it is better to stick to only one reliable source. This is always offered by the newspaper press. Thus, I support learning news via papers, rather than relying on various sites available online.
Newspapers, in my opinion, are an effective way to access news. Our society consists mainly of people grown without the internet connection. For them, adapting to the electronic way might be difficult. Therefore, the majority are still inclined to paper-based news reading. Having bought a membership from the press, people can enjoy reading the news through the papers that are delivered to their homes on a weekly basis. This way is also beneficial in a way that it does not harm our vision. While staring at screens may cause serious problems to the well-being of our eyes, reading text on a piece of paper has little to no negative impact on our health. Moreover, before pressing the papers, information on them is double-checked by the senior staff to ensure that the content is reliable and there are no inaccuracies, which means, newspapers are largely an accurate source of news.
In conclusion, although there are some advantages to getting news through the internet, such as instant posts, access to many sites, there are concerns regarding their credibility that is often sacrificed for the instance sake. Newspapers, on the other hand, despite slow deliveries, offer reliability in terms of information printed, and they have limited harm to our vision, compared to the electronic devices, which are required when reading news online. These qualities of papers make them to me the most optimal way to lean news through.
