There is little room for doubt that news is always popular among the people. Albeit most people read news on the internet, conventional newspapers will continue because it is the major source of news. I would argue with this statement because electronic gadgets of news will gradually replace that of the newspapers.
Corrected
Corrected version:
There is no doubt that news is always popular among people. Although most people now read news online, conventional newspapers will continue to exist because they are still a major source of news for many people. I would argue against this statement because electronic news gadgets will gradually replace newspapers.
The phrase "There is little room for doubt" is a bit formal and could be replaced with something simpler, such as "It is clear that" or "There is no doubt that."
The phrase "albeit most people read news on the internet" is grammatically correct, but it is a bit wordy. It could be shortened to "although most people read news online."
The phrase "electronic gadgets of news" is not grammatically correct. The phrase "electronic news gadgets" is more correct.
The phrase "that of the newspapers" is redundant. The phrase "that of" can be replaced with "the."

Improved version:
It is no secret that news is always popular among people. Although online news is becoming increasingly popular, conventional newspapers will continue to exist because they are still the most accessible source of news for many people. I believe that electronic news gadgets will eventually replace newspapers, but they will not disappear completely. Newspapers are still the most reliable source of news in some parts of the world where internet access is limited.

The phrase "Newspaper is the traditional method of news" is grammatically correct, but it could be made more concise by changing "is" to "are."
The phrase "as they do not know how to do read news by electronic gadgets" is a bit awkward. It could be improved by changing it to "because they do not know how to read news on electronic devices."

However, newspapers may not disappear completely although younger generation tend to read the news online because it is a cost effective method and people also watch and listen videos through them. So, those reading newspapers, their number decline and they prefer online sources. In addition to this, latest events can be updated immediately on the online websites, such as facebook, and twitter, while there are numerous steps to publish newspaper, namely editing, and printing. As a result, people can not read up-to-date information on time, if they read newspapers.
To conclude, although reading news on the media is significantly spreading over the world, according to me newspaper cannot be completely replaced by online method because some cities are undeveloped, so the internet facilities are not available there. Newspapers are easily available any part of the world.
