Although more and more people read the news on the internet, newspaper will remain the most important source of news for the majority of people. Do you agree? It is true that the consumption of the news on the Internet is becoming increasingly ubiquitous. Whereas some argue the newspaper will keep its long-held power as the main source of news, it seems to me that it will gradually be replaced by the Internet. On the one hand, it is often argued that newspaper will continue its position as people’s major source of news, for it is considered more reliable. Since the Internet has both facilitated the process of publishing news and made it possible for everyone with just either an online computer or device, every individual, with the slightest knowledge and awareness of what has happened in reality, can write and spread their own version of the news. As a result, we are witnessing the increasing number of either fake or biased stories on the current affairs, which means it would not only lead to people losing their faith in Internet published news but also enhance the credibility and popularity of traditionally published newspapers. On the other hand, there are several reasons why the online news publishing will diminish the role of newspapers. Firstly, reading the news online is significantly easier. Having the pocket-size devices, people access the an abundance of news whether in the comfort of their home, or at work, or even on the road. Secondly, the interactive nature of the online news has been attracting more audience. The comment section of news sites, if devised appropriately, could act as a platform for news readers to share their point of view. Moreover, the authors will be more likely to gain accurate feedbacks about their pieces. Finally, people can acquire information about the recent events in at a notably faster pace. Newspapers in the best circumstances publish twice a days, the online news sites, however, are able to broadcast updates more periodically right after the incidents. In brief, although newspapers will surely be available and used in years to come, I believe their role as the most dominant source of news will slowly fade away.
