While discussing with a friend, I came to the question that what is better? Watching the news on TV is like listening those news which does deserve true importance.

TV, plays unwanted news. Repeat their stuffs. Seems boring. Extend the news. We Can't get at our own time.
But, we don't need to put stress on mind. Available anytime. Latest news available. On Tv, no extra investment.

News papers, pages full of ads only. A few real worthing ads. Full of crimes and accidents. Or just movies oriented. Delayed news.
But, You can get to selected news. Take less time. Can get news anytime, again.

What is your idea about it?

for me therisingsun, I use both. News are important in our daily life. Without it, we would be out of place and might be in danger for we do not know what might happen in our society, community and in our world! Other reasons why I read and watch news is for me to know current issues involving the Government and all. But really, to answer your question, 70% News in TV is much better that News in the paper. Because I partly believe in "what you see is what you get" phrase hehehehe. cheers! good day:D


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Thanks for responding. True you said, news play a vital role in one's life. I also believe that we must remain in touch with current affairs. Actually, it makes us able to comment when our friends are discussing in themselves and if we will be unaware, we won't be able to answer. Right you said, as tv provides instant news, it can be better option to go with.

i like watching the news more. its a bit faster than the conventional newspaper. but i also have to admit that some of the news on tv are based on the newspaper. there are certain news that aren't shown on tv and there are more newspaper around, having more reporters.:) don't like reading though. so i still prefer watching news on TV.:)


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

I appreciate your two points. First, tv is a bit faster and second, you don't like reading much. Actually, many people are fond of reading and many dislike the same, so you are. Hence, tv news is preferable for you. In with it, enjoy.

I prefer both. I mean reading as well as watching. Sometimes you've to see it to believe it. Just written texts don't convince mind at all. Besides both text and video medium are corrupted. You've to spend some time with news in order to believe it. Both are good source for entertainment and knowledge. Channels like discovery, nat geo are god source of knowledge.

Some good newpaper like times, and other are worth to read for reviews and information. Sometimes both newpapers and tv are good source for humor. Some jokes in newspaper and tv are good. I like reading and watching, so i think i prefer both mediums have their importance.


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

You are right. We can't believe everytime just reading something, we must visualize that and the simple medium is tv. Thats right that both are important and yes, I agree that newspapers have something very special known as reviews. Both having substantial importance thats why both sectors are still running.

yes what u said is true... it is becoming even more worse than ever before. the number of adds have increased with change in time..... we can depened on news for knowing the details in short duration.......................


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Thanks pavan, adds are also important but too much of them really annoy us, and then we avoid the things but can't avoid the news. So we sometimes have to compromise.

I prefer watching news on tv rather than reading newspaper. On tv you can know all the news without getting bored and you can even see it live. It also doesn't add clutter to your house. You don't have to wait the next day for the latest news. Most of all you don't have to spend to know the news.


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Hey, the points you mentioned have substantial gravity. I agree.
Also, the people who can't read or write have no choice except tv.

Its better to have them both. With news watching you can have the newest news within minutes. With newspaper you have to wait for a day to the news yet you can reread them especially if your time doesn't permit watching news.


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Both reasons are true you have written. Thanks. Happy lotting

I like to watch television news,because it is really convenient for the modern world,we can quickly get information from the television.


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

True about tv news but what will they telecast when there is no news, they either keep on repeating or else go for unwanted news, of no importance.

Nowadays, news first comes us from TV. The first thing I do after getting up is to turn on the TV and Morning News accompanies me with the busy morning chores. When anything really catches my eyes or ears, I would follow for the details from newsapapers, which come later.

TV news are vivid on screeen, but can hardly show great details and backup information, which can be accomplished by other media like newspapers. I cannot do without either.


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Wow. This is a great idea. I'm impressed. So you mean exact news without wasting lot of time. Thanks for sharing

I do both. I like reading the news online. It is faster and fresher. I also watch news on tv, especially the local news. Local news here come out in the newspapers the following day. Also worth mentioning is that I also listen to the radio for local news, especially if I hear the fireman's siren. I quickly turn on the radio to check where the fire is.


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

The idea of having the news from the internet and also the radio are nice. Yes, for local news, we have radio as one of the best media. Thanks for this new idea. Reading from the internet has advantage over the papers that they are instant.

i love to read but if i am busy at my work, i have no time reading the newspaper so i just watch the late tv news and see whats happening around us. I just do the reading if i have a spare time. we should read or watch news because it is still important to know whats happening in your country. You will be able to know the latest news regarding politics, crimes, entertainment, etc. I believe that it is nonsense or kind a boring, if there's no news to talk about. Just my opinion. Good day.


myLot reputation of 93/100. therisingsun (306)   ranked 753 out of 19,413 in questions & answers  2 months ago

Thats so true that today life is so fast that we find no time many times for doing what we really like to do. Like i like playing volleyball but do not get time. So you are doing. But enjoy newspaper during weekends Lol.
