It is argued that some burning issues presented in newspapers nowadays reveal little correspondence with human’s lives and are of no avail. In my view, I completely disagree with this opinion.

To commence with, reading newspaper or watching TV news programmes is beneficial for a variety of reasons. The main one is to drive the way for people to perceive the current situation in the world with precise information. For example, COVID-19 - a recent global pandemic has become more and more alert.
