News Paper
The newspaper is one of the oldest and most common sources of information. It provides information from all around the world and our country at our doorsteps and makes sure we stay updated with the happenings all over the world. It empowers mass media and brings more power to the common man. Any incident happening even in the remotest location is brought to light through this important source of information which makes sure no one has to suffer. In a democratic country, it holds even more prominence as it has the power to influence people and their course of actions.
With the advancement of technology although its importance has increased as it can also be accessed online but it has brought along with a number of drawbacks. The first one being that many times false information is spread through it which leads to many disastrous outcomes. This leads to misleading of the audience. Also, sometimes it distributes manipulated information to gain more popularity but leads to a bitter feeling in the feeling against the person who becomes the victim.
Thus it becomes very difficult to differentiate between authentic and false news as the news becomes less unbiased and more dependent on what the publications wants one to believe although its importance cannot be refuted.
