▶ Your Answer : Some people might think that news media is biased and unreliable. This is because most broadcasting companies are related with big enterprises or even run by the government. So people may think that news media always broadcast only good sides of enterprises and the government. However I cannot agree with that for several reasons. First, public people can get the information from other medias before news media’s broadcast nowadays. Because smartphones and Social Network System(SNS) are very well developed in these days, people can get the information about the incident immediately when it is happened, in any time and eveywhere. So news media has cannot broadcast differently about the incidents. If news media gives the wrong information for pursuing their own profits, people won’t trust news anymore and then people wouldn’t watch the news any longer. That will be a huge damage to news media. For example, once the owner of the big enterprise’s sex video was disclosed, news media had to broadcast that eventhough the media company gets a lot of money through the enterprise’s commercial advertisements. Because most people already know about the scandal. Next, there are many companies make profits through the news media. So they have to compete with each other by the quality of contends. If the company gives a incorrect or low quality of news to public, people will watch other campany’s. For instance, when there were only afew broadcasting companies in Korea before, people have to believe what they said. But, nowadays people can compare the information with other news and can choose what news media to watch. That is why the broadcasting company cannot manipulate the news or give a biased information. To sum up, although the news media seeks its own benefit and tend to manipulate the contends to get people’s attention, it must give a correct and reliable information to people. Because of well developed networking system and other competitors. |
