In Response to " Why Pay for Your News"

It is true, today's technological world relies on the Internet for news and information. It is a good reason for the demise of the newspapers. The Internet is fast, cheap and accessible to us 24/7, way more convenient than the printed news.

Technologies offer us many options of both credible and not credible information. We are given the opportunity to choose.

The convenience of the unlimited information released for us on the internet makes us comfortable. "A paper has a sports section but there are 24-hour sports channels available that are updated by the minute"(ROGER DRAEGER). Why would i want to follow the "news" if I have what interests me the most - 24-hour channels available?

Internet is great! But we should be aware of how uninformed we become, by entering "our" zone, and not the reality of news.
