6 . More mainstream sources of news such as newspapers, radio and IV aren’t gone yet, but the Internet is growing and entrenching itself as the preferred source. Here are some of the reasons why the Internet is now the best source of news people hive.

Online news is faster and more convenient while on the go. Soon after a major story occurs, it takes a few hours for news channels to report it live on cable.    1    

Social media makes news more relevant. Social media platforms are not just limited to sharing pictures and posting updates about our daily routines.    2    For example, when there is breaking news on the Internet, people can make comments and post their thoughts regarding the event. As a result, they get into a dialogue where different opinions are presented and debated.     3     On the other hand, if you get news from cable TV,   you have very limited options to discuss.

You can get news directly from its source. Many newsmakers are already active on the Internet. Since all these newsmakers have an online presence. People can get news directly from the concerned source, public figures, and newsmakers.     4    . Their social media presence is verified (证实的) and it is easier to trust information coming from them.

    5     For generation Z, cable TV is limited to sports and movie channels. They don't sit in front of the TV to watch a news bulletin. There primary source of information is the Internet. This is how they have grown up. It's unlikely they'll move away from digital anytime soon. And since this younger generation is the future, digital or Internet news is too.

A.The future is digital.
B.Traditional journalism still holds great value.
C.That is, news doesn't have to be reported to you.
D.This makes everyday news quite relevant for a while.
E.The Internet is quick to judge and demand an apology.
F.However, people can get news faster through social media.
G.More importantly, it is a great way to understand the public’s perspective on certain issues.
