It is argued by some that newspapers are the best source of receiving news while others believe that online media is better. While online news platforms can disseminate information instantly, I argue that print media is the best way to obtain authentic news. Some argue that online media is the best medium for getting news. This is because online platforms broadcast news instantaneously, allowing readers to access and obtain information as it happens. Put simply, individuals can get breaking news through online media outlets, keeping themselves abreast of the latest developments. This instantaneity is particularly advantageous in rapidly unfolding events, such as war, natural disasters, or global crises. A case in point is "X" (formerly known as Twitter), a social media platform. It provides real-time updates on the Russia-Ukraine war. Despite this, I would argue that newspapers are a far better medium to have news. Others, however, say that print media are a better medium to get news because of their credibility and trust. Unlike online platforms such as Facebook, which often contribute to the spread of misinformation due to the lack of authentic sources to obtain information, newspapers typically employ trained journalists who are expected to cross-check information, verify facts, and present unbiased reporting. This adherence to professional journalistic standards helps to ensure that news reported in newspapers is trustworthy. For example, The New York Times has a long history of upholding professional journalism standards, contributing to the authenticity of its reporting. For this reason, I think that newspapers are the best source of getting news. To conclude, although many prefer online media when getting news, this essay, after weighing both views, finds that newspapers are a better option to obtain news due to their trustworthiness and professional journalists.
