2021-02-28雅思G类大作文全球真题：传统的报纸、杂志将会消失于信息时代吗？

The hard copy version of newspapers and magazines has been in great threat owing to the evolving electronic technologies. This threat, believed by a section of the society, would bring an end to the printed version of these reading materials. From my point of view, I am an ardent advocate of this statement that e-technology or soft copy of news and information would engulf printed copy.

A good reason of paper copy dying out would be the flexibility of electronic copy. At present, not only do publishers of news and articles collect information from sources swiftly but they also update this information timely. This means, electronic technologies, such as *art phones, Internet, and other internet of things, are being used in order to disseminate information from journalists to ultimate readers; and editors are updating the news ,where needed, with efficiency. In contrast, Printed copies are not editable hence misinformation in news could not be corrected.

Another convincing reason of terminating printout of newspapers and magazines might be the user-friendly attribute of e-technologies. In other words, readers can access any news from any *art devices that has internet access. For instance, People, who are busy, can swipe their mobile phones for news or information from any places around the world without bothering printed version of newspapers and magazines. What is more, readers can share any news with their friends and family via social network sites whereas this feature is unthinkable in printed version.

To conclude, it is indubitable that printing newspapers and magazines would be discontinued in upcoming years on account of the adaptable and exclusive application of electronic technologies. Indeed, Printed version would be the Museum’s collection soon.
