It is true that newspapers can’t adapt as quickly as other types of media to breaking news events. However, there are advantages to having slower news. Newspaper journalists have time to digest information on an event, so they can write their reports with greater accuracy and details. It is less likely for newspapers to make mistakes although it takes longer time for an event to get reported. In contrast, reporting a news event immediately as it happens, as many online news websites are doing today, may lead to speculations (猜测) because the bigger picture is often unknown yet.Listening to the worldSharingListeningViewingListening to the worldSharingWatch a podcast for its general idea.1In the podcast, people are interviewed about the media and the news.
