    It is obvious that online news media is becoming increasingly popular. As we have entered the smartphone era, we prefer to rely on news apps such as Jinri Toutiao and official news media accounts to learn about what is happening in the world.

    From my point of view, the advantages of online news media outweigh the disadvantages. Firstly, it covers a wider range of stories and almost instantly updates news events. Besides, it is easier for us to check the latest news on the mobile devices at any time. Another positive aspect is that we as readers can post our own comments to interact with others. As to the disadvantages, first of all, many people may unconsciously become the tool of spreading a great deal of fake news. What's worse, being addicted to the online news wastes our time.

    To sum up, online news media makes it a more personal and comprehensive experience to read news and its rapid rise is unlikely to stop.
