3 reasons

While browsing online, I found an interesting article that talked about three reasons why we should stop buying newspapers. Number 1: the environment. The article talks about how not only are we killing millions of trees, but we are also creating so much garbage because of them. Yes, it helps a lot if people recycle, but many people don’t. Also, the machines that make the paper pollute the environment. This topic made me think of my high school’s newspaper. My high school has been trying to “go green” for the past few years and the major step they took this year was to put the newspaper online. The website is absolutely amazing. You can go to the archives and see all of the issues that the school has printed; all the way back to the first issue. They also have videos and photos of events that take place at the school. They created this website not only to “go green” but also to keep up with the advancement of technology. This leads to the next topic the article talked about: online newspapers. Previous posts have already talked about this topic but online newspaper is becoming huge. It’s so much easier to read the newspaper if it’s online because of all the technology we have. Another positive point about online newspaper is it’s free. The last topic the article talks about is how the newspaper is old news. Once you get the newspaper, you probably know about many of the issues they talk about. I thought this was interesting because I never thought about that. The main article in the sports section may be about a sport’s team winning a game, and I’m sure most of the people who read it already knew which team won.

Here is the article
