Young people : newspapers and TV news As reported by the article, in the last years more and more young people neither read newspapers anymore nor watch TV news. Not having statistical facts about those 2 phenomena, I can only draw a conclusion from my own experience and the people around me. I agree with the first assumption since I think that the growth in affordability of smartphones and Internet devices has contributed to the abandonment of newspapers. In fact, in a fast-paced world, we can have the very last news at our fingerprints whenever we want anytime during the day and night while newspapers usually report news of the day before. That is also why mainly all newspapers agencies have been forced to switch to digital, usually offering both ''classic'' newspapers and digital ones. At the same time, I don't completely agree with the fact that young people are not watching TV news anymore. As a general tendency regarding the news, I believe we might be a bit lazier than before since we are used to have everything real-time without doing any effort such as serious research(s) or taking the time to read a newspaper. Of course, when discussing these topics without any real evidence it's easy to generalize and I am sure there are a lot of young people out there who still read newspapers and enjoy doing that.

Young people : newspapers and TV news

As reported by the article, in recent years less and less young people read newspapers* or watch TV news. Not having the statistics about these 2 phenomena, I can only draw my own conclusion from my own experience and the people around me.
I agree about the newspapers since I think that cheaper smartphones and Internet devices has contributed to their death.
In fact, in a fast-paced world, we can have the very last news at our fingertips whenever we want, anytime, day or night, while newspapers usually report yesterday's news.
That is also why nearly all newspaper agencies have been forced to switch to digital, usually offering both ''classic'' newspapers and digital ones.
At the same time, I disagree that young people no longer watch TV. As a general tendency regarding the news, I believe we might be a bit lazier than before since we are used to have everything real-time without doing any effort such as serious research(s) or taking the time to read a newspaper.
Of course, when discussing these topics without any real evidence it's easy to generalize and I am sure there are a lot of young people out there who still read newspapers and enjoy doing so.

*Your English is also perfectly good.

Very well written! I changed a couple of double negatives to their positives. Yours were also good English, but perhaps harder to read. Admittedly, however, much academic writing favours them.
