In the modern world, obtaining news on the Internet has become an

accelerating trend. I have faith in the likelihood of this


trend overshadowing the traditional way of reading newspapers to
become the most crucial source of news.

The most obvious proof supporting my viewpoint is the decline in


popularity of traditional newspapers. Conventional newspapers’ nature
which is characterized by a thorough and time-consuming process of
editing, printing, and distributing turns to be a weakness that causes
newspapers fail to meet the instant quest for news of modern news
readers. In addition, due to the fact that printed newspapers
are geographically limited, their reach and exposure levels are be
becoming substantially lower than those of online news. Apparently, it is
online press, not the traditional one, which helps news seekers all over
the globe access local news as well as global news published by a variety
of internationally prestigious newspapers including BBC, New York Times,
and Wall Street Journal. Such availabilty of online news
far outweighs that of printed news, steadily dominating the news
industry.

Moreover, the advantages of online news significantly surpass those of


printed newspaper. In this era of advanced technology and
communication, the omnipresence of the Internet and the availability of
Internet devices have boosted the popularity of online news to an
extent that the concept of buying and reading a printed newspaper would
become obsolete and inconvenient. Online platforms which facilitate fast-
moving and immediate news updates will certainly become the
utmost solution to satisfy increasing demand and busy news seekers.
Thanks to Internet-based platforms, news about an incident happening
half world away could be retrieved within a few seconds after its
commencement, which renders news updates one day later on
conventional newspapers out of date.

In conclusion, despite the fact that printed newspapers still hold an


important role, I firmly support the tendency that they will be eclipsed
by online news
