Nowadays more and more people are getting updated with current affairs through social media. However, still there are groups of individuals who believe in getting piece of information from traditional sources such as newspapers. For my part, I completely disagree with this statement that newspapers will remain a prominent source of information for the majority of people. And believe that there are many great sources that can replace the newspaper completely in the coming years.
Newspapers are becoming thing of the past. The major drawback of newspapers is that they do not come up with the latest news, information from the newspaper is already day old when we get to read it. On the other hand, online sources of news can provide us latest news and information from time to time. Another drawback of newspapers over social media is convenience. Newspapers are not convenient at all they are not handy like smartphones, we cannot carry them everywhere with us and we cannot open them anywhere and start to read them. But that’s not the case for digital media you can carry your smartphone anywhere with you and access the news from every corner of the world.
But there is a group of people who still loves to consume information through print media. Newspaper is still a popular source of information for the old generation. The reason for the popularity of newspapers among the old generation is they are not that tech-savvy. They still love old ways to get things done. On the other hand, majority of the people especially the new generation love to get informed through social media. They are not very comfortable with reading the newspapers what they like is interactive news which they can get through social media or other digital media.
In conclusion, digital media has the upper hand over newspapers in every way and in the coming years, it will completely replace them and will become the preferred source of information for everyone.
