News media has become influential to our life nowadays. Some people think that it is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is widely believed that the information provided by news media (e.g. newspapers, television, radio and internet) has a tremendous impact on people’s daily lives. Whether ordinary people and society could benefit from such information has sparked controversy recently. In my opinion, the advantages of this phenomenon will continue to overweigh its disadvantages.
Generally, the news reported by most media is proved to be accurate and instant, which benefits both individuals and society. First of all, it is human nature to be curious about what is happening around, as the best decision can be made only if there is enough information provided. News media influence people when they need to make decisions, such as selecting a career and running what kind of business. The resources of society are relocated and redirected reasonably in this way. Moreover, news media plays an important role in instilling high moral values by reporting incidents with good or bad examples. The good discipline will gradually be accepted and admitted. Also, revealing scandals like corruption will help to monitor and boost efficiency in government behaviours.
However, news media could have negative effect as well. Some news could be over-exaggerated, misleading or even false, as a large proportion of news media companies are economically motivated, they may only care about how many people will be interested in the content, regardless of truth. People may end up misjudging the situation after receiving wrong information. Nevertheless, as we are living in a open-minded society, there could be various voices about the same incident in different aspects. Still, people have their own judgement and usually the truth will be revealed by time.
In conclusion, news media, as a way of transmitting information, is more and more crucial in contemporary society. This is an irreversible trend and people will continue to benefit from it.
