It is obvious that online news media is becoming increasingly popular. As we have entered the smartphone era, we prefer to rely on news apps such as Jinri Toutiao and official news media accounts to learn about what is happening in the world.

Besides, it is easier for us to check the latest news on the mobile devices at any time. Another positive aspect is that we as readers can post our own comments to interact with others.
