Writing Feedback / The number of youngsters reading newspapers or watch the news is declining. Reasons and solutions? [3]
In many countries, very few young people read newspapers or follow the news on TV. What do you think are the causes of this?
What solutions can you suggest?
------------------------
I was wondered when I read the recent survey about the interest in the youngsters reading newspapers or watch the news. The survey reported that in many countries 70 percent of youth are not showing interest neither to read nor to watch the news. Only 30 percent are willing to read or watch the news.
In my view, one of the major reasons for lack of interest in the youth is they are more attracted to social media like face book, twitter and so on. They are spending much of their time in reading posts, chatting with friends and tweets. Electronic gadgets are drawing the youth interest. Young people are likely to text in WhatsApp, browse internet in mobile phones. Also they are not interested to know what is happening in the society because they are busy with their studies and parties. The parents are also not encouraging their childrens towards reading the newspaper. In the survey some were expressed that newspapers are covering more news about the politics so they are not keen to follow the political news.
I think some of the solutions are parents, schools and colleges should motivate their childrens or students to read the newspaper. It would be better if the schools or colleges allocate daily 15 minutes time to read newspaper before commence the classes also make newspapers are available in the libraries. The young people spend most of their time in college cafeterias and restaurants so it would be good if we arrange some televisions which telecast news. Also government should take some necessary steps and arrange facility to telecast news in public places airports, railway stations and bus stations. Most of the youth use mobile phones so we have to encourage them to read e-newspapers in mobile and tablets.
