To be honest, it is quite demaning for a poor student like me to spend 20 dollars a month to subscribe a daily newspaper. However, a true reason behind this is that newspaper is the best source that I can get pretty good quality of information. Not only does It offer a reliable current issue, but also it gives me to improve my critical perspective by comparing a various news sources.
First of all, information from various news is quite reliable and intellectual. In such world with overflowing information, knowing a lot is not an ideal goal. What is truly important is what kind of knowledge he or she has. Learning harsh criticism or awkward knowledge does not contribute to stay well-informated. It just infuses wrong information contaminating a person's pure mind. I was almost convinced by an absurd arguement by some news strikingly defaming my nation's great former president.
Moreover, there is a more important thing than just good information itself: various news sources. I can not educate myself to be constructive or creative critic or viewer, but it is possible with the help of various news sources. It is foolish enough to think that all news sources have the same perspective. Every news source has its own viewpoint and it is quite interesting to see how diverse its idea is. By comparing such perspective, I can truly be a open-minded person with broad insight. Even though US' new dispatch of troop to Afghanistan seems to only entail malign influence, I found an actual purpose behind its ostensible appearance by reading a various forms of news focusing on the same issue.
To sum up, to stay well-informated is pretty easy: just order a daily newspaper. One would be educated with a great quality and widen own perspective by taking different approach to the same current issue. If one misses a day's newspaper, one would lose a day's important issue what others know.
