The rise of digital technology has had a profound impact on the way we consume information. The print
media, such as newspapers and magazines, have faced significant declines in readership and revenue, which
raises questions about the future of print journalism.
One of the most significant factors driving the decline of print media is the convenience of digital
platforms. Online news sources offer greater accessibility and immediacy compared with printed formats. News
updates are available instantly, requiring no physical purchase or delivery. Furthermore, digital platforms offer
more interactive content, including videos, audio and links to related resources, which is impossible with print
media. Cost is another major factor influencing the shift away from print media. Digital subscriptions tend to be
much cheaper than printed versions. To illustrate, some online news channels charge a small monthly fee for
access through a subscription service. Therefore, digital publications often have lower operational costs because
they don't have any printing or distribution stages.
However, the decline of print media carries potential drawbacks. Digital news sources can allow the
spread of misinformation and fake news with their lack of editorial standards. The decline of print journalism
also raises concerns about the future of investigative reporting, which conventionally requires significant time
and resources.
 In conclusion, the fall of print media is a reflection of the power of digital technology and changing
consumer habits. Digital platforms offer a more accessible, immediate and cheaper way to consume information.
However, it's important to be aware of the potential drawbacks of this transition to ensure the reliability of
media.

Every day you may read the content on your social media walls or glance at news bulletins on online
news sites several times for updates. Do you sometimes pause for a moment and wonder whether the news is
reliable or not?
Media have swiftly evolved to the phase when everyone can easily create news and publish it thanks to
the development of many social media sites. As a result, many news stories you read might be unreal without
being fact-checked by professional editors. False news is published to mislead audiences about something
or someone, or to gain more visitors to their sites, both of which serve their profits. For example, advertisers
usually use catchy images of celebrities and give exaggerated information about the product. This false
information persuades viewers to buy things to satisfy their feelings of being happier or more successful just
like those of the celebrities in the advertisements, rather than what they truly need in reality. In addition,
lots of websites and social media accounts publish false news stories which contain eye-catching images or
dramatic events for entertainment to increase views.
Because of the negative effects, false news must be stopped effectively. You may think that if you spot
any false news, you will show an angry face emoji or comment on it to help stop the false news and help people
become aware of it. In fact, the more comments on a piece of news, the more that material will be shared with
their social media friends and followers. Therefore, even though you show disagreement with the false news,
your interactions help spread the news faster. To stop the spread of false news, simply report it and scroll down.
