▶ Your Answer : Undoubtedly, the news media plays a significant role in the way people think and see the world in their lives. Some people think that the news media is a reliable source of unbiased information, while others do not. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their views. If I had to choose one, I would say that the unbiased news is impossible. If it were not a dictatorship, there would be several broadcasters in a country. Definitely, individual news has different ideas about the same event. Like all people have their own opinion, so does the news media. In South Korea, there are seven broadcasters. They (대소문자) understandably have different stance on the same event. For example, In Korea, the president of South Korea, Jae-in Moon and the dictator of North Korea, Jung-eun Kim met last year. It was a big event because not long ago, the relationship between South Korea and North Korea was very bad. Some news reports said that it had a notable meaning in that Kim (성으로 부릅니다.) would not conduct the nuclear test anymore. However, other media contended that we could not trust North Korea. Also, they said that the more important thing is the economy of South Korea, but the government did not care about it, and only paid (그래서 어떻게 되었나요? 언론이 보도한대로 하지 않아서 나쁜 결과가 나타났나요?) attention to the useless thing.
Also, in capitalism, a broadcast company is operated with the advertisement profit. The cooperation usually advertises their products in the broadcast, so it is difficult for news media to maintain the neutrality about the advertiser company. To be specific, to prevent the relations between news media and the major cooperation that have a lot of money, Korea has the system. The broadcast company cannot sell the advertisement directly. There should be an additional company who mediate the sales of the advertising time. This is the Korea broadcast advertisement cooperation, the KOBACO. Even though, the worker of the KOBACO said that because advertising revenue is too large, it is quite difficult to completely exclude the influence of advertisers.

All thing considered, I surely believe that the news media have their own opinion, so the news is not unbiased information. However, it does not mean that this is a bad thing. On the contrary, we can listen to the many kinds of assertions and we think about the events diversely. |
