Many people think that we do not need printed newspapers any more. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement? Newspapers are one of the main means of mass media having a leading role in improvement of the culture and information of societies. With the hectic pace of technologicaly advancement nowadays many people are of the opinion that the demand of printed newspapers has been dramatically decreased, hence we can rely on the electronic version, and in near future publication of the paper will change into online instead of printed ones. I, personally, hold the idea that reading online requires some basic elements which are not available for everyone. In most parts of the developing countries, electronic devices suitable for reading online, or access to the Internet are is far from being guaranteed to be available for all members of the society. In addition to this, a new research recently released by the faculty of human science and sociology of UCLA is suggests / saying that most senior citizens in developed countries prefer to read printed newspapers due to lack of literacy / competency in electronic devices and problems they usually face while using the Internet. Reading a printed novel can induce a kind of peace and good feelings to me in a way that I cannot compare it with while reading the exact texts on a digital gadget. In addition to this, I like to be away from the virtual world and relax for some hours without technology, so then I believe reading a printed newspaper is (reason enough) a reasonable reason for this purpose. In conclusion, I would like to draw your kind attention to the point that no one, myself I included, cannot reject the benefits of an online paper such as strong archive of previous editions, being environmentally friendly and possibility of searching a single word out of billion corpus, but comparing the mentioned positive points I strongly hold the idea that we still need printed newspaper despite besides its drawbacks.
