• Paragraph 2: some people do not follow the news, because it is often trivial and irrelevant to their own lives e.g. celebrity news, football, fashion.  They can discover the news which affects them directly through local sources.
• Paragraph 3: reasons why this view is wrong: (1) it is vital to know about national/international events e.g. climate change, the coronavirus (2)  in a democracy, voters must be informed – at least in part through TV/press news

• Conclusion: although much news is trivial,  it is misguided not to follow the news.
