▶ Your Answer : Many people would undoubtedly disagree, if they were asked
about whether it is advantageous to use various news sources. They would point
out that there are too much information in on-line and off-line places, so they
hesitate to select which one is useful to them. However they seem to be missing
something more important. I believe that we had batter derive information from
diverse news sources and utilize it. This idea will be discussed based on the
two perspectives: if people get information from various news sources, they
could obtain specialized information related in several areas. Plus, as people
use more news sources, possibility of knowing inaccurate information will
decreased.
To begin with, by reading several news sources, people can
get specialized and detailed information which they want to know. Although a
newspaper provide us with many beneficial information, it does not always solve
our questions which are caused when we read the article. As reading another
newspaper which includes clear and specific explanation, we could understand
rather easily. For instance, when I was a freshman in university, I read
internet news about concept of micro-RNA. In the article, micro-RNA could be
used to cure cancer. The article surprised me very much and I wanted more
information explaining how micro-RNA attack cancer cells and improve the
disease. However, there is no additional information in it, so I effort to
discover other newspaper in university library. As a result, by reading several
science articles, I could know micro-RNA’s functions.
In addition, people can get accurate information. Newspapers often
include wrong information. So, if we rely on a single source for our news, we may
mistake in important situation. A few years ago, for example, there was wine
festival in Daejeon, city of Korea. I really wanted to see the festival and my
family would go to the festival at the last day of festival. Before the
festival was started, I read a newspaper saying the festival will be continued
from Monday to Sunday. However, this statement was wrong and when my family
went to the wine festival expecting that we can eat delicious food and drink sweet
wines at Sunday, no one existed in there. After that incident, I always read
more than two newspapers that introduce new events or festivals. In conclusion, different news sources give us detailed information about
each news item and help us to receive accurate information. On the whole, I agree
with the idea that people should get information from various news sources so
that they can stay well-informed. |
