Thanks for agreeing to do this interview. People are increasingly turning to the Internet instead of print media for news. It’s been estimated that around 90% of people get at least some of their news online. Why do you think that is? Miss Smith: One major reason is that people have much easier access to news thanks to the rise of online news media. Online news is updated constantly, whenever anything newsworthy happens. So readers of online news can get the latest updates whenever and wherever they want. To learn about a specific topic from print newspapers or TV broadcasts, they would have to carefully check every page or wait until a certain time of day, and by then the stories may have already developed further. With news sites or apps, they can simply type in their search words and click “Search”. Simon: That’s true. What other advantages does online news media have over print media? Miss Smith: I think these days, people want not only to read news, but also to interact with others and talk about the issues involved, and online news media makes that easy. One study found that 38% of online news readers regularly comment on articles. What’s more, if they find an interesting article, they can quickly let their friends know by sending them a link to the story or sharing it on social media. Simon: I see. Does that mean print news media will disappear completely? Miss Smith: I don’t think so. Print news media is still viewed by many people as more trustworthy with more in-depth analysis. A recent survey of 300 people found that 65% trust print news more than online news. Also, it is hard to change people’s reading habits. Some people just enjoy the feeling of holding a physical newspaper when reading news. So, I think online news media will develop hand in hand with print news media for a long time to come. Simon: Thanks, Miss Smith. in-depth彻底的；深入详尽的 an·aly·sis /əˈnæləsɪs/（对事物的）分析，分析结果 C. In pairs, talk about online news media. Use the following questions and expressions to help you.

With the availability of numerous news apps and news media accounts on social media, it is understandable that using online news media is a trend that is set to continue. availability/əˌveɪləˈbɪləti/可用性，可得性 under·stand·able合情理的；正常的；可以理解的 It is clear that online news media has advantages which are making it a popular choice.

In addition, online news media has made it convenient for us to share news stories with our friends. However, there are negative sides of online news media too. The huge amount of content on the Internet makes it difficult to tell what news is well researched, or even what is true at all. Besides, it is not easy to change people’s reading habits and some simply enjoy the feeling of holding a physical newspaper when reading news. For these reasons, there are still some people who prefer reading newspapers or watching the news on TV. In conclusion, it is clear that online news media will become increasingly popular in the future, though print and broadcast news media will not completely die out. These types of media will develop together to satisfy different groups of readers. As a result, in the future, more people—but not all—will get most of their news online. $$
