▶ Your Answer :
There might be some people who think that
people should look for information from one source to be well-informed. However,
I personally disagree with the idea for the two subsequent reasons.
To begin with, people can get more accurate
information by using multiple news sources. If we only use one new source to
get information, it would be more likely for us to get wrong information. Let
me talk about personal story as an example. A few years ago, I planned a trip
to Europe. At that time, I wanted to know the weather condition in Europe, so
that I could bring the right clothes. So I looked up the internet and it said
the weather in Europe would be mostly hot. However, as soon as I arrived there,
I realized that weather was much colder than I thought. If I checked different
information resource such as newspaper, I would be able to bring appropriate
clothes.
In addition, if we use only one news
sources, it is more likely for us to get biased information as each information
sources tend to have their own views on certain topics. There was a research
conducted by Korea University as 50 different newspapers as a sample. The
purpose of research was to find out how different each newspapers report on the
same issue. The result was overwhelming. Every 50 newspapers reported on the
same issue based on completely different point of view. This result shows that
media tends to reports issues based on their own perspectives.
In conclusion, if we get information from
one source, there would be higher possibilities for us to get wrong and biased information.
In this regards, I think people should rely on a variety of new sources to be
well-informed.
