My teacher talked about news media today. I rarely watch TV now, and I don't read newspaper anymore. Instead, I read news online and get important information from forums these day. I remember that two years ago, when there was a war started, I knew that from a forum where people shared foreign news and videos. At that time, Hong Kong news agency hadn't announced any official statement about that until two or three hours later. To me, that was very slow. Therefore, I don't think I could get back to traditional media anymore because I don't have the patience I used to have.

I rarely watch TV now, and I don't read newspapers anymore. Instead, I read news online and get important information from forums these days. I remember that two years ago, when there was a war somewhere had started, I knew found that out from a forum where people shared foreign news and videos. At that time, Hong Kong news agency [ 1] hadn't announced made any official statement about that until two or three hours later. To me, that was very slow. Therefore, I don't think I could get back to following traditional media anymore because I don't have the patience I used to have.
[ 1]: If that is the name of a particular news agency, then you should capitalize it: Hong Kong News Agency. Otherwise if you are talking in general terms, say: Hong Kong news agencies.
