Read the following article and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 26 to 30.
Digital media is any form of media that is created, viewed, and distributed via electronic devices.
Examples of digital media include websites, social media, videos, video games, digital advertising,
software, and electronic books. With the development of technology and smart devices in recent years,
digital media saw a sharp rise. This raises the question of whether digital media will replace traditional
media such as printed newspapers, broadcast TV, and radio. Below are two opinion pieces sent to our
Debate Corner this week.
Minh Quang
Nowadays, it is much easier and more convenient to access information via digital media. Most digital
content is also freely accessible. All it takes is a few clicks, and you can read the latest news, watch
videos, or see online adverts. In addition, digital media forms are more interactive. For example,
customers can provide instant feedback, which can be used to solve any problems. In return, almost every
organisation can reach its target customers easily via digital media. Furthermore, digital media is more
flexible since information can be updated easily and frequently. By contrast, articles in printed newspapers
or adverts on TV cannot be changed immediately. With more than 75 million social media users in Viet
Nam and the number is increasing, it will not be long before traditional media becomes a thing of the past.
Pham Hoa
Digital media is very convenient, but its strengths are also its own weaknesses. Since anyone with access
to computers and the Internet can post or share information online, it raises the question of how credible it
is. On the other hand, traditional media offers information from reliable sources that are fact-checked.
Moreover, let us not forget that digital media relies on the Internet and smart devices to work well. There
are still remote or disadvantaged areas in Viet Nam where access to technology is limited or too
expensive. Many people also still struggle with technology. So although digital media is on the rise,
traditional media such as printed newspapers, broadcast TV, and radio is here to stay.
