Why do you read newspaper or watch the news?

I'm not adict to watching the news or reading  newspapers but Ilike to know everything in the worldwide.
Ithiink it's not as necessary as sport and I know people who spends the day talking about the news.
The good side of the news is that we can know instantly what is happening across the world.
I curently only read the newspaper to see resultats of the football and watch the news to see the replays of the goals of the matches.
