Essay - The Importance of Newspapers

THE IMPORTANCE OF NEWSPAPERS

 

How would a day go if there was no newspaper dropped at the doorstep one morning? To many it would be as if the day would have never begun and the most important activity of the day would have been left incomplete. To most adults, a cup of tea and the morning paper are the perfect combination to kick start the day and the tea will lose some of its flavour if there was no newspaper to go along with it.

 

The rapid spread of education all over the globe has created a huge reading community who eagerly wait for the morning newspaper. The daily newspaper has become an integral part of our lives and most of us can’t begin our day or live without it.

 

The newspaper is considered as a “Textbook of Life.” It gives us information about recent happenings and events in and around the city and country. It also provides us with a whole lot of other features, which we have grown used to by reading the newspaper.

 

The newspaper has enormous power in shaping the opinion of the public and influencing our lives and instilling values. A newspaper should be clean, truthful, free and fearless and can do enormous good by helping people to think rightly and impartially on important social and political issues.

 

In recent times, the TV and different social media platforms have added to the media, which has made news available 24 hours live as it happens. People can watch various incidents and events live and in the case of calamities, aid can be available at a moment's notice. However, the same news in the newspaper is more detailed and can provide more information. Newspapers provide more special features, such as editorials, sports, business pages and classifieds advertisements. All these features make the newspaper a very valuable friend.

 

Many newspapers also provide supplements that are entirely devoted to local news and articles of general interest. These additions provide delightful reading, without these sections the newspaper seems very incomplete.

 

Reading newspapers also helps to improve an individual's language and vocabulary. This is a very important aspect of an newspaper, besides being a source of information and entertainment. The newspaper gives us something to think about and relieves us of a lot of stress of our routine and monotonous lives.

 

The newspaper is therefore, a very important part of our lives and something we can never do without on a daily basis.
