It is widely believed that the information provided by media, regardless of based on paper such as newspapers, or based on technology such as television, radio and internet, has a tremendous impact on people’s daily lives. Whether the impact is benefit or not has resulted in controversial discussions recently. In my opinion, the advantages of this phenomenon overweigh its disadvantages when taken a closer look.
Generally, most of the news delivered by media is proved to be accurate and instant, which benefits both individuals and society. For of all, we are living in an information era. And for the human beings today, it has become part of human nature to be curious about what is happening this minute everywhere in the world. Secondly, highly influenced by news media, our decisions everyday are made more or less based on the information provided. From as major as a business decision on whether or not to sell a stock to as simple as whether we should bring an umbrella, our lives are driven by the information. Moreover, news media plays an important role in setting up moral values by paying respect to the heroes and criticizing the villains. Our society needs good discipline, and news media promotes it in a mellow and non-offensive way. Revealing scandals like corruption also helps 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 falsified. As a large proportion of news media companies are money driven, they may only care about making the content appealing to the public, even though the truth says otherwise. People may end up misjudging the situation after receiving wrong information. Nevertheless, as we are living in an open-minded society, there will be various voices on the same event with different opinions. Grownups are responsible for their own judgments, and they will know which source to trust by time. The truth will be revealed in due time.
In conclusion, news media, as a way of delivering information, is more and more crucial in contemporary society. This is an irreversible trend and people will continue to benefit from it.
