03 While-reading
The way we find out about the news has changed greatly over the last hundred years. At the beginning of the 20th century, newspapers and radio broadcasts were the main ways to get information. But nowadays, print media isn't read as it used to be. People are turning to the internet for the latest news instead.
In the past, people read the newspaper at home with their morning cup of tea or coffee. In those days, news stories were researched and carefully checked before being printed. The newspapers were sent to new stands or people's homes. The events people read about in that morning's paper had probably happened several days before.
These days, we don't have to wait for newspapers to be sent. As long as we have a smartphone and an internet connection, we can read the news anywhere and at any time. And the news we see on our favourite website or app is breaking news — it's only a few hours or even minutes old. News is also shared live on social media by the public as it happens. This makes anyone a news reporter.
With news flooding in from all sources, the facts may not be checked carefully by every news producer. That means whenever we read news stories from a non-official website, we need to ask ourselves whether they are true. So be careful about what you read.
