There is a view that traditional newspapers are no longer necessary. While paper newspapers may help readers improve their concentration and habits and provide well-researched and detailed information, I totally agree that it can lead to negative impacts, such as limiting real-time news and contributing to environmental pollution due to deforestation.
On the one hand, one of the significant advantages of traditional newspapers is providing well-analyzed information. Unlike online news, which provides only limited details about the events, paper newspapers rely on professional workers who examine the incidents by interviewing eyewitnesses and carefully checking every detail of the situation, resulting in readers being able to fully understand the news. In addition to this, due to the lack of advertisements and notifications in print newspapers, not only do people improve their concentration, but they can also promote the development of consistent reading habits among individuals. If readers were to read articles carefully without any distractions, they would both be more likely to memorize information and improve their concentration, and they would get used to reading consistently, which would lead to creating good habits.
However, in my view, the negative of this. Neglect any advantages. This is because, although traditional newspapers can offer well-detailed information about incidents, improve readers’ concentration and create good habits, their potential dangers can be much more significant. One of the significant drawbacks is limiting real-time news that happens due to the long duration required to analyze the events in detail. While newspapers offer detailed information about incidents, publishing such articles requires a lot of time because journalists need to examine the events carefully and edit the article completely. As a result, restricting real-time news can delay people from becoming aware of these events. Additionally, due to the high demand for paper, publishing news in printed form can contribute to environmental pollution. If many people preferred the traditional form of news, it would lead to deforestation and cause raising the level of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that would be absorbed by trees.
Inconclusion, although traditional newspapers may offer certain advantages, such as providing well-analyzed information about events and helping readers improve their concentration and develop good reading habits, they also have drawbacks. They often struggle to deliver real-time news and contribute to environmental pollution due to deforestation. Therefore, I believe we should transform from traditional newspapers to online ones.
