Nowadays News Companies Spend a Lot of Money Covering International News

Nowadays news companies spend a lot of money covering international news. However, local news is more relevant to people’s lives and should receive more funding. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?


These days, a hefty amount is being spent by television channels, online news portals, and newspapers to cover global news; but, important information about regional news is more relevant and covering its expenses, local news agencies should be financed more, and I completely agree with it as it makes people updated with their surroundings as well as they get beforehand information about natural calamities, weather forecast and to name but a few.

At the outlet, regional news makes people updated about their surroundings. Although the same purpose is done by international news; but, it has no immediate effect on local inhabitants’ lives. So people pay more emphasis on local news as they live in particular areas, so getting information in advance about any construction work or power cut can make people alert about the situations and plan accordingly. Moreover, local news displays the people’s sufferings and transparently presents these to hire authorities.

So it is a good source for people to make aware the local government about their hurdles. Besides, local news also depicts the weather, such as if the weather is going to be harsh; then, people can re-route their journeys, and they can’t wait for the weather to be calm, and then they can resume their journeys. Moreover, local news agencies assist people in making them aware of the crime, which is ubiquitous everywhere. So people can do endeavor to make their locality safe and secure.

In conclusion, so global news has little relevance to the life of local masses because it has no immediate effect; however, regional news has a great effect on the life of local natives as it makes them update and help them by informing in advance about natural mishappenings so that people can lead a smooth life.
