    Print media has traditionally been the primary source of news. But with the advent of technology, more people, especially the younger demographics, prefer to get their news from social media. In my opinion, digital sources are gradually edging out print newspapers and this essay will further discuss the reasons for this shift.

    The rise of the internet, and social media, in particular, has led to a migration of news sources from traditional media such as newspapers and television to internet-based sources. In order to catch up, many print publications have added digital subscriptions to their newspapers as people increasingly consume media on smartphones and tablets. Social media provide a wider range of news sources in comparison to newspaper outlets. This makes it harder for one source to have a monopoly on the news when there are many outlets to choose from at once.

    On the other hand, social media news is considered less credible than its print counterparts. As these platforms have the power to drive news to consumers on a large scale, political parties may misuse them to spread fake news that protects their interests.

    In conclusion, as news consumption continues to trend in the digital direction, more scrutiny should be levied on social media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, by regulatory bodies to ensure the circulation of reliable news.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am writing this letter to bring to your attention that I lost my laptop while I was on vacation in the Maldives and that this item is insured.

    It was a jet black Lenovo ThinkPad Z 16 and had cost over 2 lakh rupees. The incident occurred on 23 October 2022 while I was holidaying in the Maldives for a week. I was on Paradise Island when I lost my laptop in the reception area. Although I extensively searched for the item for hours, I could not locate it. I registered a complaint with the local police and am yet to hear from them.

    Since I have insurance coverage for the laptop, I would like to claim the insurance amount for it. As per the policy, I am entitled to receive 80% of the original cost as an insurance refund. Please find the receipt of the purchase with this letter.

    I look forward to your response at the earliest.

    Yours sincerely,

    Jeena Antony
