▶ Your Answer :
Some argue that news media is
trustworthy so that we can dependent on those materials completely due to their
effort to be neutral. However, in my opinion, news we face every day is
somewhat biased and unreliable. That is, it is impossible to exclude journalists’
stance out of their report and many media are backed by the major companies,
which will interfere their free will to report neutrally.
First and foremost reason why news
media is untrustworthy is that it is impossible for correspondents to be
completely neutral on the subject they are dealing with. There always exists
somewhat distorted projection of creator’s view in the material even though
they try best not to. To elaborate, the overall tones, choice of words, and
even allocation of the article in the newspaper whether it is on the first page
or last page is the result of their political stance on the matter. Therefore,
it is overestimated view on media to say they are unbiased and so reliable.
Another equally important reason is
that many of the news media are supported financially by major companies, which
make them to concern about their supporter’s ideas when they broadcast. It
would be very difficult not to include investor’s idea when their financial status
is up to them. Therefore, such media will only release news that does not
interrupts supporter’s business, or to raise their reputation. For example,
when Tae-an oil spill took place in Korea in 2009, many of the news media were reluctant
to mention Samsung, who triggered the problem, because most of them were backed
by this major conglomerate. Therefore, it is debatable whether news media is
neutral.
To
wrap up, I believe that it is very controversial to say that news media is
reliable source of information, since journalists often projects their own view
in their news and it is hard for news media not to be concerned about their
investors, who are mostly major companies trying to manipulate the information.
