When the American conductor Stokowski was in Paris，he often went to a small restaurant to eat.The boss gave him good food every day and charged him low fees.
One day Stokowski asked the boss，“Why are you so polite to me? It's not like I can't afford it.” “I love music very much，” the boss exclaimed enthusiastically.“I would sacrifice anything for it！”
Stokowski was very moved when he walked out of the restaurant and noticed a sign in front of the door.It said，“Please have breakfast，lunch and dinner with the great Stokowski every day at this restaurant.”
Although the Internet is relatively new to the modern world，it has rapidly become part of our daily life.It has become one of the major media of communication and news resources in today's society.It's not a surprise that this infant medium would soon take the place of the traditional sources for news.
But，can something so new be trusted? In a medium where anyone can create a webpage，no one knows which news is fake and which news is real.At least with newspapers，we have our established names.And even with television，we think we can trust our nightly news report on the national television stations.Still，studies show that the Internet still is a main，if not the most significant source for news.
The Internet began as a connection of a few government computers used mainly for military(军事的)purposes.Then，very basic things began to grow out of it: such as download areas and simple email.With the creation of HTML which could let you jump from site to site through links，“web browsers(浏览器)” were created.Then came the first webpages and the first bits of news whether the news was personal，local or national.The evolution of online news wasn't slow.In fact，most of the growth took place within a single year.
With the quick and recent influence of the Internet，it becomes difficult to differentiate between the more established news sources and the online medium.We know we can trust sites like MSNBC because they have an established name already in television news.But，with journalists like Mike Drudge (who broke the Monica Lewinksy scandal)，his site has been considered more of a “rumor center” than a source for legitimate news.Yet this does not prevent people from using the sites，as news websites offer the quickest，most accurate statistics on news stories.Users need to be careful about which sources they can really trust，personal pages or professional ones.
