For me, the most significant shift in media consumption brought about by online media is the ease in accessing digital forms of conventional media, such as print media. Radio and broadcast media are also online, which makes it convenient to get some news whenever you have the time. As the internet is everywhere, online media allows for faster access to news than conventional media. Online media has also made it easy to offer comments and allows for a speedier two-way connection.

In comparison to conventional media, I find that internet platforms keep me up to date on all current events. Accessing information has become simpler, and the ability to fact-check any story I find online has been a major game changer. While conventional media is clearly a reliable source of information, since it provides legitimacy, online news allows me to access it whenever I want without the risk of losing it. The best thing is that it’s easily accessible, requiring minimal effort.
