Explanation:
Many people consider the information presented in print media vehicles to be more reliable than the information covered on the internet. This is because, according to these people, the information on the internet is posted without verification. This is true in some situations, however, it is possible that the information presented on the internet is as reliable as the information presented in the printed media. This is because many platforms and websites present information verified and disseminated by experts and people committed to the truth. Many print media outlets have been replaced by the internet because of this possibility of disseminating true information online.
