Television is one more means of news and current affairs in any country or locality; more often, the news is broadcast live and in real time. However, the Internet can also bring such benefits to viewers and newsreaders. Aside from comprehensive articles on popular news, there are websites that allow viewers to view news just like what they might find on TV.
Is there any advantage of having one over the other?
Does television offer something that the Internet cannot?
Which will you choose, the Internet news or the TV news?
Let’s try to delve into the two aspects that both media can offer…
Credibility
television credibility – all the news that the television brings is being reported by real journalists who work for the network. All of them taken from real stories of people or situations that are the subject of the reports. Therefore, the reports are more credible than the reporters and the subjects. Therefore, when you are watching a TV report, you can be sure that the content is true.
Internet credibility – Blogs turned bloggers into another type of journalist who brought different types of news written in such a way that they reflected the opinion of people who had witnessed the situations in the first person or that reflected their own way of speaking. Although there are real paid journalist writers, but they are so few that they make up a small percentage in Internet journalism. So you won’t be surprised to read some news that can’t really pass the standards of real journalism.
Freshness
news – most of the news broadcasts on TV are new or recently happened. Television networks are very interested in the latest events in the community or country. They even have contacts within police stations so they can dig through the records of the people who are the subject of their news. This is just a good indication that the TV news is recent and delivered just minutes from the time it happened.
internet news – while there are millions of bloggers all over the world, they keep abreast of the latest and latest news happening around the world. Most of the time, bloggers also get their stories from TV or newspapers; you can call this type of second-hand news because it has been delivered in other media. Most news forums are created from news networks; Television networks build their own websites to deliver fresh news to online readers.
Why do we have to consider these two aspects when reading news?
First of all, credibility is important because everyone does not want to read news that may not be true or may be wrong in some aspects. Newsreaders read news because they want to know what really happened, how it happened, or when it happened. So why not make sure you’re reading the correct and credible news?
Second, fresh news sells better than old news. Most people prefer to read the most recent news over what happened last year. The point is that you want to know what is happening today instead of what has already happened, right?
