Newspapers are one of the most important documents in our daily lives.

You can call them the

intelligence powerhouse. They also offer us other advantages that help us in our lives. By reading the
newspaper, you are better educated, and therefore your outlook is broadened. Nevertheless, reading
newspapers becomes an old habit. Nobody understands the paper as the world moves towards
digitalization. The older generations mainly maintain the reading of newspapers.

Reading the newspaper is one of the most beneficial habits. It helps us to get to know the worlds current
affairs. We re getting to know about the latest events from a reliable source. We also get to know about
different politics, economics, entertainment industry, sports, and much more. Also, newspapers help us
in finding jobs. Most companies post advertisements for job vacancies in newspapers.

Most importantly, newspapers help in developing a persons vocabulary. You can learn new words and
correct your grammar by reading a newspaper. Also, a person reading a newspaper can speak fluently
on a variety of subjects.

Unfortunately, while having so many benefits, the habit of reading newspapers is dying. Besides,
electronic gadgets are more convenient, so people dont bother to pick up a paper.

Everything has now become digital and instant. People are no longer waiting for newspapers because
they believe it only reports what they have been told about.

Also, reading is becoming an endangered habit. Everything is convenient and visual now that nobody
wants to read papers, books, letters, etc. People will prefer to watch the news on TV or their
smartphones, but will not read a newspaper. To add to this, the internet has made it worse.

As a result, everybody is turning lazy. No one wants to read, and this is affecting the vocabulary skills of
the younger generation. People do not know how to spell and depend on autocorrect to correct their
mistakes. Perhaps the most dangerous is the spread of false news. People will believe whatever articles
they find on their social media websites without fact-checking but will frown when asked to read a
legitimate newspaper article.

It is not a surprise that social media is now filled with people claiming the Earth is flat, and Climate-
change isnt real. This is a result of a lack of proper awareness and sheer ignorance. If people would read
more newspapers, and stop reading every second article on Facebook, perhaps these incidents wouldnt
be as unfortunate as they are right now.
