There is no denying that the phenomenon of consumption of news online instead of magazines and the news papers is ubiquitous across the glode due to its importance. It seems to me that those innovations significantly changing day-to-day life, which I will elaborate in upcoming paragraphs.
Initiating with the best possible benefits, the most significant advantage is, rapidness of distribution and real-time updates of information. This can provide people stay informed about news as they happen or happened recently, which can be helpful during emergencies, natural disasters or political events. To cite an example, people in Japan are informed about earthquake even before it is going to happen. Along with it, we can consider boarder acesses and convenience, meaning that individuals with the internet acesses can read news everywhere and at any time they want by using smartphone or computer.
Furthermore, another merit of this method is, customization and personalization that allows users choosing topics that matters most to them, such as technology, politics, economics and ecology. This might save the time that readers may spend on reseach for specific topic in the news papers and magazines. Consequently, it appears that cost and enviroment are also playing a role in this situation. This type of news is priceless (despite expences for the internet connection) and in fact, does not require printing costs and usage of paper, so it reduces paper waste.
To conclude, without any doubt, I completely agree that the internet is a new alternative for magazines and the news papers because it is not only accessable but affordable. Given this situation, it seems that this method is much more convenient than using magazines and the news papers because of easiness of its using and thus finding specific information person would like to exlpore.
