There is no need for newspapers in modern world. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In modern society, the social media is becoming more and more popular than any time in the history. Because of the convenience and less restriction of the new media, people are getting less dependent on newspaper which is the traditional media. Therefore, some one believes that it is not necessary to possess newspapers any more. From my perspective, I totally disagree with this argument. The newspaper can convey formal news. Although the newspaper could not be published as soon as news came out, the newspaper can deliver the important news that is after one day or one week's modifying by professional editors. This can eliminate the fake news effectively. This is the advantage that new media can never catch up with. Reading newspapers can protect people from addicted to electrical devices in some extent. As the development of smart phones and laptop, a great number of humans are greatly relying on these stuff. If newspapers will no longer exist, the tendency of new media spreading by electrical devices substituting the traditional media will becoming unstoppable. In the future, nobody will ever read newspaper to realize the treading stories or news. This is also a heavy load on energy. Last but not least, people can read stories deeply on the newspaper. This will give people a relaxing feeling and a good mood whereas the new media will only cause tired eyes. Based on these three point listed above, I utterly disagree that there is no need for newspapers in modern world.

@Yulia, That might be true, but we do use electricity to read news on our laptop/desktop/smartphone. And considering where our electricity's coming from, it might not be an ideal outcome for our planet (and potentially more devastating than cutting trees, thinking about long-term consequences.) That is, however, another debate. @Greg To answer OP's question, I do commute quite a lot, and when I do, I don't always have access to the internet (taking the tube for instance,) therefore having some other medium not reliant on satellites is quite interesting. So, I read newspapers. And the advantage with newspaper is that when you're tired of reading, you can leave it in the underground stations and someone will pick it up and read it. So, there goes some planet resources saving. Kindest Regards, Nicolas

I think, noone reads newspapers any more. I haven't seen people reading newspapers for a while. Besides, when we read news online, we save trees which are cut to produce paper.
