IMPORTANCE OF READING NEWSPAPER
Reading the newspaper is one of the most beneficial habits. It helps us to get to know the worlds current affairs. We re getting to know about the latest events from a reliable source. We also get to know about different politics,economics, entertainment industry, sports, and much more. Also, newspapers help us in finding jobs. Most companies post advertisements for job vacancies in newspapers.
Unfortunately, while having so many benefits, the habit of reading newspapers is dying. Besides, electronic gadgets are more convenient, so people dont bother to pick up a newspaper. Also, reading is becoming an endangered habit. Everything is comfortable and visual now that nobody wants to read papers, books, letters, etc. People will prefer to watch the news on TV or their smartphones, but will not read a newspaper. To add to this, the internet has made it worse.
As a result, everybody is turning lazy. No one wants to read, and this is affecting the vocabulary skills of the younger generation. People do not know how to spell and depend on autocorrect to correct their mistakes. Perhaps the most dangerous is the spread of false news.
If people would read more newspapers, and stop reading every second article on Facebook, perhaps these incidents wouldnt be as unfortunate as they are right now.
