▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that the news media is a reliable source
of unbiased information. However, I strongly disagree with the above statement
subsequent two reasons. First, they release information without fully
verification. Second, sometimes media makes the news more dramatic for pursuing
its own intersts.
First of all, the media does not check their information
entirely. This is because there is no censorship by reliable organization, so
they just release information even that is not true. I think this is a serious
problem in our society because we can not distinguish which information is
reliable.
For example, when I was a senior, I had to write my essay
for my graduation. So I was looking for the subject of my essay, I finally find
the subject on the newspaper. At that time, I did not have any doubt about that
information so I started writing my essay. But few days later, another media
proved that information was not true because that newspaper company got a
financial assistant from the certain company to make fake information. I was
depressed about that and I had to rewrite my entire essay in short time. From
my experience, we should not fully trust information from the media.
Second, sometimes media make the news more dramatic for
their revenues. This is because media is a company which is making a profit for
them. And there are many competitors in the market. So if they want to make
revenues, sometimes they exaggerate information.
For example, one of the famous musician interviewed with
newspaper company. She said that she wanted to take a rest because of her
child. But the newspaper company made an article like she did not want to sing
anymore. People were shock after reading the article because she was a famous
in our society. But after releasing the article, she explained the situation
and she did not want to retire. Moreover she got a trauma after that incident.
To sum up, the news media is not a reliable because of
exaggeration and no censorship. In this regard, I personally disagree that the
news media is a reliable source of unbiased information.
