The vital need to always listen to news cannot be over emphasized. News simply means information about events that occurred recently. A person that listens to news is well informed than one who does not. This is because information adds to existing knowledge, and knowledge they say is power. Power is the ability to do things that means when you are well informed; you can do anything you wish to perfectly. In today’s modern world, the media companies have diversified news in the sense that we now have live news feed whereby events are been reported live on TV, radio and phones as they happen.

Most people suffer due to lack of information because they think that news is only for people working in government offices and banks. Take for instance where an announcement is made on the news that healthcare is now free in the general hospital but out of sheer negligence Mr. Amodu struggling with a poor salary still takes his daughter to the private hospital carelessly spending the little he has. Today most businesses are done online with your phone or computer; people sit in the comfort of their homes and make millions while others are out there under the hot sun struggling to earn a living. The good thing about news is that it brings you information about the latest happenings, inventions, whether it has to do with sports, movies, music, commerce, dating, celebrities etc. It saves you the trouble of making mistakes, making inquiries and spending unwisely.

When you are well informed by listening to news, you move with the trend and know exactly what to do. One who does not listen to news will always be in the dark; it’s like crossing a busy road where cars and trucks are speeding wearing a blindfold. Only on the news can one get detailed information about recent events and happenings.
