TV has been in trouble recently and this is because of the Internet. This is the case due to the fact there has been a decline of people watching TV news due to new and digital media
- Of the 18- to 24-year-olds surveyed by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, 28% cited social media as their main news source, compared with 24% for TV. TV news audiences are in freefall (in the UK, they’ve declined by 3% to 4% a year on average since 2012).
I believe that this is a massive drawback as it is essential for people to be updated and informed on news stories whenever they're out which is why social media is a good place for this to happen and for people to get news whenever they need it.
