Newspapers

It seems that newspapers have become obsolete given how fast the news is being updated and how much news is out there. The news can be accessed on a cellphone, a laptop–on almost any electronic device. They’re not restricted to owning a paper copy. The digital world has made the news instantaneous–daily.

Years ago, I remember going to the bookstore and seeing a shelf full of newspapers from different publications. Now, we needn’t go to any store to read the news. It can be read online for free.

I’m sure some people still enjoy holding a newspaper in their hands and flipping through the folds of pages. When reading from a newspaper, they’re not distracted by ads or clickbait articles. Ads can be passed over with just a flip of the page. They can even circle things on the page, such as headlines, and fill in crossword puzzles if they wanted to.

Perhaps it’s just a matter of preference as to how a person reads the news. Newspapers are printed each day, but like with everything today, paperless communication is becoming more prevalent. And with that being the case, information is free–so long as there is internet access.
