- Keep an eye on the latest world news
The fact that you know what is happening in the world is one of the clearest advantages of reading a newspaper. Browse the newspaper to find out what is happening in the field of politics, business, entertainment and international news. This all contributes to your general knowledge.
The main advantage of reading a newspaper is that you get all kinds of news at the same time. You can choose to go into your interests in detail, but a quick read in the morning can keep you up to date with the latest news.
- Discover information that you were not necessarily looking for
Arguments and discussions about newspapers are gradually becoming irrelevant as their digital counterparts emerge. This may not be entirely true, because newspapers do not offer the reader the opportunity to see only searched information. Everything is shown, and it is up to the reader to choose what he or she wants to read.
So you might come across an interesting debate while reading the newspaper that you would never have seen on the internet because you would not have looked for it. This is also one of the reasons that children in school always hear that they have to read newspapers - to expose them to information that they would not normally find.
- Follow a news story in detail
Newspapers are known for publishing well-researched and well-thought-out journalistic pieces, usually full of opinions and insights. Whether it is a national protest, controversies during an election, an economic crisis, or discrimination based on gender, newspapers can be a rich source of information to follow a story detail for detail.
Follow a story, and get in-depth knowledge by finding out what the government thinks about it, how the man reacts in the street, or what celebrities have to say about it.
- Keep an eye on your immediate environment through advertisements
By reading the local advertisements in the newspaper you can find out how your immediate environment works. Find out which apartment is for rent, which plumber gives a discount, which restaurant delivers free home delivery, or which florist gives an exciting deal on festive bouquets.
By reading the advertisements you can become a resourceful person. Even if you do not use the local services, you can always recommend them to other people in need.
Don’t read fake news. Most of the media only produce fake news.
If you want to really know what’s happening in the world, then Travel and meet people in real life.
Another source is Twitter, Youtube and Reddit etc.
Please follow good people.
Also steemit is the future of all the media combined. Stop reading newspapers for goodness sake. lol
The fact still remains that not all information you read both online and in the newspapers is true, traveling and meeting people in real life is no guarantee that they will share the truth with you. moreover how many years do you think it will take an average person to travel all around the world just to learn the truth. what are the costs involved in transportation etc?. Remember that, newspapers have been around before the internet. as such, they complement each other. It is not a competition.
I kind of understand your point of view.
I want to live in world where we’ve no war and no borders. For that to happen people need to travel more and stop listening opinions of others on media
Yes, your right, the world would have been much better if there were no wars or pains. But the fact still remains that travelling is money. And most people have their businesses fixed in a specific location, and traveling sometimes means not having any income. Travelling is always fun, when you do not have to worry about the financial situations involved.
I certainly agree @emmanuelzod!
