Although people read newspaper or watch television in order to get updated news in past decades, the trend has changed these days; they use the Internet and rely on the online news. In my opinion, the predominant of online news is not a positive development. In the following paragraphs, I will explain my opinion in detail.
The main reason why I believe newspaper should not be replaced by online news is because the news from the Internet does not come from reliable source. For example, in the social media platform, anyone can post anything and this can cause overload of information, which makes us confuse. In addition, there is no evidence that such kind of news is true, so that we can get false information. On the other hand, news from newspapers is collected and edited by professionals so that they are much more trustworthy than online news.
Moreover, when we watch news from television, we usually watch with family and discuss about the news with them. As a result, we get more family time, which causes the bond between family members to be stronger because we keep in touch whenever watching TV. A recent study of the Harvard University shows that people who are familiar with family members are happier and healthier than those who are isolated.
All in all, I totally disagree to rely solely online news as the main source of getting news, while television and newspaper should continue to be the essential news sources.
