Fitness for purpose

Online news services attract millions of people each day, who all have access to thousands of news articles, which can all be instantly updated as any advances are made regarding them, so users don’t have to wait until the next day to hear about these, like they would have had to do with newspapers. This is possible because of real time information, which holds the fundamentals of online news services intact, as without real time information, users would incur a delay to when the information is relayed to them from the news provider. It allows the ability to make news articles more interactive, as things like videos can be embedded into the articles, and it makes the whole process of distributing news more environmentally friendly, as no paper,  is required, like it is for newspapers; some news outlets operate solely online for this reason! To inform people about what is happening in the world as its core purpose; online news services accomplish this. I think this because that is literally what it allows to be possible; people can visit an online news website, and then choose between many articles about many different things that happen in places both home, and away from home. So, ultimately, online news services are in fact fit for purpose.
