What Are The Disadvantage Of Newspaper?

I think the major disadvantage of newspapers is that even though they bring us news, they can often be biased as the reporter or analyst also presents his/her view of the situation. There are many people who just believe these views and as a result they reduce the ability of the readers to analyze the situation by themselves. Many news papers can be politically inclined or controlled by the government in some countries and these newspapers just transmit the good things and hide the adverse aspects. Another thing that can be a disadvantage of reading newspapers is that they are becoming more and more commercial based. They have started to give more and more space to the advertisements which is not the primary purpose of a newspaper.

Finally, in today’s fast world, the news is transmitted using many other faster mediums than newspapers like internet and every one with a camera in their cell phone is a potential reporter for these sources. On the other hand newspaper involves a time lag between the event and its publishing.
