Hi English teachers,
I am uncertain if my sentence is acceptable. Please tell me and I appreciate your guidance.
I am always astonished by newspapers telling me that electronic products are so low-priced.

@engineer,
Hi engineer,
but I am confused on the ing form. It should not be positioned after the 'newspapers'.

@Loh Jane,
The ing verb ending often, but not always indicates that the verb in being used as a noun. That is called a gerund, by the way.

@roger,
I don't believe that that's the situation here, Roger.
