YES
    The new media, such as the Internet and mobile phone applications, have exerted a great influence on people’s life. An online newspaper is fast, instant, and convenient, while a printed newspaper often responds slowly to the latest news. People are now used to reading online newspapers on smartphones, and few people have the patience to wait for a printed newspaper.
    An online newspaper is also environment-friendly, which is in accord with the trend of saving energy in today’s world. A printed newspaper consumes a large number of natural resources, and will, in the long term, be gradually replaced.
    The multiple services, such as posting comments and finding related news through the links provided by online newspapers, have greatly enriched people’s reading experiences and knowledge. Traditional newspapers can hardly compete in this sense.
NO
    There are still a large number of people in the world who have no access to the Internet. For these people, a printed newspaper is an important way to know about the latest events at home and abroad.
    Although a printed newspaper can not be as fast-responding as an online newspaper, it still can provide many in-depth reports and analytical articles for readers. Many column writers are invited to write special feature reports for printed newspapers. An online newspaper, on the other hand, is only suitable for fast reading.
    Many readers prefer to read printed newspapers because they do not like staring at the computer or cell phone screens. A printed newspaper is also preferred by the elderly people.

答案The Irresistible Trend of Online Newspapers With the advent of information technology, the traditional media are pushed to the corner and are struggling to survive. Surprisingly, not all people are hailing the birth of online version news. Some people believe that traditional printed newspapers are irreplaceable since a large number of people still have no access to the Internet. However, others believe that the demise of the printed version is near at hand. Being faster and more convenient, cell phones and personal computers are leading us to a paperless lifestyle. As far as I am concerned, it is irresistible that printed newspapers will demise while online newspapers will prosper. As the modern life changes quickly, news is reported at every turn. News is no longer new when printed on paper. While the printing process of traditional newspapers takes hours, and their distribution may take even longer time, the electronic transmission of news on the Internet may only take a couple of seconds. Besides, young people, the largest number of consumers, prefer to read news via cell phones or laptops. With these devices, users can share and comment on the news, which enables them to enrich their knowledge and mind in a short time. In conclusion, I firmly hold the idea that online newspapers will dominate the market in the future while printed newspapers will be displayed in the museum representing a period of history.
