Nowadays, as the world is progressing more quickly than before, trying to acquire a variety of

information based on solid and trustworthy resources is getting more and more important. Therefore, I
strongly agree that to be well-informed, people should obtain sufficient knowledge through diverse
news supplies.

Firstly, a large amount of news resources enable people to receive the updated news happened within
the shortest time. Living in an information-explosion era, people have to absorb adequate knowledge to
be sure that they can keep up with the changing pace of society. Thanks to the Internet and the portable
devices invented, we can browse any news pages at our convenient time.

Secondly, with enough resources, I can have a all-round picture of the news because the story being
developed varies from different reporters with different personal perspectives. Once in the course of
News Writing, we were asked to write a piece of news about a fire based on several raw materials. After
reviewing the work of other students, I was surprised to realize that the contents of the reports ranged
from rescue to the consequences caused by the disastrous fire. Likewise, the news, either from
newspaper or the Internet, demonstrates a certain part of a story. Thus, we need to obtain the whole
story from different resources.

Finally, plenty of news supplies can help us distinguish which news is more reliable. Even though making
mistakes should be avoided when reporting a piece of news, it still happens frequently because news
agencies produce enormous information every day and they would never make sure each single piece of
news is 100 percent right, let alone to say that in some circumstances the sources of the news are
partially incorrect or being obscured. I have encountered some news, which the statistics included are
just round numbers instead of precise ones, or the quotes being used are said by people who heard
about the story instead of the witnesses. Neews with mistakes or unclear information will give rise to
wrong decisions which affect people adversely.

In summary, getting information from many different news sources play an essential role for people to
be well-informed.
