It is suggested that newspapers are still the best source of information. Do you agree or disagree?

Along with the rapid technological advancement seen on current living standards recently, people put more attention on which is the most reliable source of information. It is suggested that newspapers are still the best source of information, which I strongly disagree for the following reasons below.
 

First of all, it is irrefutable that somehow most news written on print media are more reliable as compared to articles published online. The reasons are that before information are being released to the public, they undergo several process such as editing, proofreading and printing. This method would make sure that the veracity of information are checked not only by few people but also limits the occurrence of deception or bias. Newspapers may be reliable but not convenient for both publishing companies and clients. The publication process is too tedious and costly. As a result, more people choose reading news on the internet over buying printed media.


In addition, the internet played a more marketable role in terms of updating the people of the latest news or current events. It had presented headlines, stories or articles in a more exciting fashion. People could now watch videos and marvel of photos that support the veracity of these issues. Moreover, before the advent of the internet and the only way to read news was through newspapers, information seems hard to understand. Readers have to imagine and need to be proficient on the medium of language used. Currently, the public does not have to do that. In fact, they could just look at photos or watch videos and smoothly get the main content of what is being articulated by the reporters on the internet.


Taking everything into account, although I believe that newspapers are one of the important sources of news, I still feel that the internet is the most effective tool to gather news and information.

At present the media affects peoples’ lives significantly. What impacts does this have on the society? Is it a negative or a positive development? It is true that nowadays, peoples’ lives are bombarded with different kinds of media, particularly the social media. While there are some irrefutable negative impacts it has bought to the community nevertheless, this essay concurs that this is a positive development. First and foremost, the media especially social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter or Skype have undeniable detriments when it comes to the special aspect of people. Communities that used to be close-knitted are now rare. Families now are also weakened and this is mainly attributed to the heavy usage of those social networking sites.

Online communication is preferred than face-to-face communication. Discuss.

Online communication is preferred than face-to-face communication. Discuss. In today’s world, we find ourselves communicating more and more through online channels such as messaging, social media and video call and often at the expense of face-to-face dialogue. There are certain situations where online communication is unavoidable but there’s where we opt for virtual over real-life conversation which begs the question is online communication preferable in today’s world? To begin with, I’d like to outline the advantages of online communication. One of the main arguments in its favor is that it opens up the possibility of communicating with people in different places around the globe. This has considerable benefits in the workplace as meetings can take place via video conferencing between Stockholm, San Francisco and Shanghai without the need for time-consuming, exhausting, long-haul business trips. Furthermore, it provides opportunities for long distance families and friends
