Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Newspapers can truly help people understand the world events. Television news don' t provide enough information.

　　Sample:

　　Thanks to the rapid development in media sector, we now have more convenient access to the international affairs in all fields. Television and newspaper are both reliable sources of information, which provide a lot of benefits for people nowadays. However, some people hold the opinion that it’s newspapers that help people understand the world news rather than TV, since television usually can’t offer people enough information. As far as I’m concerned, both of these two media have their own advantages and disadvantages in covering news.

　　Compared with television, newspaper is a more active way for people to think and understand, since it only passes information through published sentences and pictures, while television provides people with vivid news via sounds and moving scenes from the spot. As is known to us, experienced editors and reporters have already processed the published newspaper, so we can easily get the most important information from the objective reports which direct us to a better understanding of the events. My father usually reads Reference Messages and he likes to talk with me about the military affairs that are seldom seen from television or even other media. Therefore I agree with the statement that newspaper plays a quite important role in assisting people to comprehend various kinds of events.

　　On the other hand, television news also has irreplaceable function among all the media. Seeing from the live programmes, we come to learn more about the serious conditions of the victims in the disaster areas. TV seems to bring us together with our family members. During the financial crisis, my family always gets together, sitting in front of the screen, listening to the analysis of the expert about the latest situation in economic trends. From these cases, it’s quite clear that, television not only furnishes us with a wide range of information, but also makes news transmit in a quick passage. Whereas, it’s nearly impossible for newspaper to offer people the up to date news, for the paper needs to experience several procedures to publish. This comes to the weakness of newspaper due to the limitation in speed. So, I take it for granted that television indeed is an effective and useful channel for people to get information.

　　All in all, these two main sources of news both afford information in its unique way, and we can choose either of them based on our personal habits or what kind of news we want to gain.
