For many people a day is incomplete without reading the newspaper. It is obviously a good habit to keep oneself updated about what’s going across the globe. Therefore taking the help of a newspaper is a good option. But at present where internet is ruling, newspaper isn’t the best option for getting an update on the world news.

By the time the newspaper reaches the home, often the news takes a different shape. Therefore what people may be reading might not be fresh news. A little advanced than the newspaper are the local news channels that continuously flash the current event and breaking news. But with unlimited breaks they give the news in bits and pieces which many times displeases the viewers.

Just turning the pages to go on with the continuity of news or constantly changing the news channel to get the full story of the breaking news is no more regarded as a relevant news source.

People are migrating to the easier and faster methods of mass media these days. They have started looking for the world news online. With internet connection becoming common practice these days, the purchase of newspapers has completely stopped in many houses. To get any kind of European news, Middle Eastern news or African news, just with a click of a mouse an individual can get the instant news easily.

While going through a newspaper or a channel, people often waste their time in some unnecessary articles and news, but this can be avoided if the news source is online. The news printed on the newspaper has often proved to be biased representing the thought of the reporter, analyst or the presenter, while reading news online is just based upon the true facts that happened at the incident site.

Many newspapers and local news channels are often politically inclined and therefore transmit the good things while hiding the adverse effects. But a suitable online news site would never represent itself in such a way. The primary purpose of a newspaper is to serve the nation with the true facts but in this current scenario people read less news and more advertisements. Thus becoming commercial based the popularity of the newspapers has gone down drastically. With greed to add more revenue through the advertisements, the newspaper agencies are doing a lot of harm to themselves.

If there has been a terrorist attack or a tragedy, the maximum current happenings is covered by the online news source. They provide the current news instantly and spontaneously. The news appearing on the online sites can be customized to view the events of one’s city or country only. Any event that people want to enjoy live without any commercial interruption can be viewed through the online world news sites. Hence in the present day where people have very less time for themselves, a quick recap through the online news sites truly helps to keep them updated.
