When we talk about the newspaper and TV news, it is the most traditional media form that people update the news everyday. But since I started my university life, I seldom to read the newspaper or watch the news on TV. It is quite high consumption for a student to buy newspaper every day or buy a television. However, the internet has replace the traditional media- newspaper and made my life easier to get the latest news by clicking on the button. I don’t have to wait for the morning paper or news from tv to find out what’s happening but I can also never finished reading news for the day. In addition, the internet can help us to categories the news into few sections. It will be easier for us to find the news and save our time instead of shuffling the newspaper.  Nowadays, people also can use the cellphone to check the current event so that they can get the first hand information. Different people might know the day to day development in their field. For instances, businessman need follow the news to keep in touch with economic and commercial trends in the country. But me as a student reading newspapers can be broaden my knowledge and keep abreast of the current event as well as recent development in various field.

As a student, I will keep up with current events. It’s can’t like the chefs who don't taste their own cooking.  Many people neglect the news that happened around the wall. From the news, we can know several of things that happened in our country as well as others countries. In other word, it is very important for us because the news can reflects a policy or government decision towards the resident. Of course sometimes the current events will be the issue that I am not interested but maybe it will be affect the people around you. For example, recently the AES was implemented to catch the motorist who speed and run red lights. If you are not driving so the news will be not related to you but you can actually remind your family members or friends who are driving about the new policy. So that, they can be more careful in order to avoid breaking traffic rules. Hence, they will not be catches up by the AES camera or pay the summons RM300.The current issue is also very important for our daily conversation. If something big thing has happened, it will spread rapidly among the conversation with someone especially friend and colleague. If you are not aware about what is going on, you might feel isolated among the group. As time pass by, you will apart from the group because you don’t have same topic to discuss or any interest conversation to share with them. At the same time you also will lose respect from the other people who value the current events more.
