How can people get information these days?
As far as I’m concerned, young people prefer to learn news from online articles on 
the Internet. I mean to be honest they do everything on the Internet, from talking to 
studying, so getting news is no exception. However, the older generations, who are not 
familiar with 
the virtual world
, like to get news via daily newspapers. Also, information 
from newspaper is generally more trustworthy than online news.
What are the differences between getting information from library and getting
information from newspapers?
Newspapers tend to focus on a limited number of 
controversial topics
like sport or 
politics. In addition, newspapers only cover the latest news. But if want to find a past 
article about specific subjects like chemistry or history, there is a higher chance that I 
will find what I need in the library. Not only is library 
a wealth of knowledge
but it also 
helps readers concentrate better thanks to the quiet atmostphere.
Is the information on the Internet reliable?
Yes and no. Of course, it is evident since anyone can post anything on the Internet, 
we should not trust everything we read online. Not to mention the fact that many 
journalistic write exaggerated articles with misleading titles or 
misinterpret
quotes in 
interviews to get more views. This is best exemplified by 
gutter press journalism
, the 
worst nightmare of most celebrities.
