Essay # 107

Newspapers will remain the main source of news in the future and the Internet will not have any effect. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include examples from your own experience.

With the increase in the use of Internet based information sources, it seems pretty likely that newspapers – the main source of news currently – will be replaced by the former. The main reason for this to happen would be easy accessibility of information on a multimedia interface.

E-newspapers have started emerging since the past few years and people who don’t have time to sit and read a newspaper in the morning, prefer to install these e-news apps to read news on the go. E-newspapers also help in filtering and sorting the specific topic or article you want to read thereby making it convenient for you to read news that you are really interested in. For example, if a person wants to read about Bollywood news only, he can look at the categories in the menu and click on Bollywood. It will display only that section of the newspaper, and the reader is saved of his time that he would spend scanning or scrolling through the entire e-newspaper. This cannot be done with the same ease in a print newspaper.

Apart from displaying news in a newspaper-styled format, the Internet provides a host of platforms to post news articles in different ways which makes news-reading an interesting experience. Readers can watch videos, see news being streamed live, scroll through multiple photos of the same article, as well as read comments of other readers who have posted their own opinions about the article. This somewhat-interactive interface is a major plus point in predicting the potential of the Internet being used as a news source in the coming years.

To conclude, I disagree with the statement in question that newspapers will remain the main source of news in the future. I strongly feel that the Internet would take over the print newspapers and provide an enjoyable and comparatively comfortable experience to the readers.
