Nowadays many young people are not interested in reading the newspapers and watching new on television. Give reasons for this and proffer solution to this problem.

Youngsters these days spend the majority of their time on social
media
and lack interest in reading
newspapers
and watching the
news
on television.
This
essay will be discussing the main reason for
this
issue, social
media
addiction and lack of interest and
also
provide solutions for
this
problem. Young people's life is revolving around online
media
. They spend time using social
platforms
like Facebook, WhatsApp, Google, Instagram and Twitter and because of
this
young people tend to read
news
on Google or online
news
platforms
.
For instance
, BBC
News
can be accessed free through online
platforms
, and so youngsters access instant
news
through these
platforms
and engage in online discussions on social group
platforms
like Facebook. As a ,result young minds don't reach out to access
newspapers
.
In addition
, newspaper lacks content which can capture the attention of youth, most of the
news
is presented in fashion for the adult population.
Newspapers
have to bring in information which can attract youngsters. For
this
, they have to introduce content like movies, sports, international games and fashion.
Also
, they have to allocate Sunday supplements and magazines which focus on topics influencing the current generation. Schools have to introduce homework and assignment which would prompt children to read the newspaper and watch the
news
.
For example
,
while
I was a student, our school introduced an assignment, where we had to read a summary of a
news
article daily and discuss our views on it.
This
helped me develop a routine of reading
newspapers
and building interest in myself.
To sum up
, social
media
and online
platforms
have negatively impacted young people not accessing
newspapers
and
news
on television. Schools have to focus on building these interests in young minds and
news
companies should develop content attracting them.
