Since the number of sources
providing information increases, a controversy has been arisen over whether
people should get information from different news sources in order to be
well-informed. I totally agree with this idea because by getting information from
diverse sources, people can avoid to be intolerant and obtain more accurate
information.
To begin with, information from
disparate sources enables people to broaden their viewpoint. One significant
reason is that people receive diverse perspectives of information suppliers.
Even for a single fact, there can surely be possible a lot of ideas which
reflect the information provider's disposition. By obtaining such perspectives,
people broaden and deepen their knowledge. For instance, Studies have indicated
that all news suppliers modified information in favor of their interests and
attentions. So, after getting more information from many news sources, one can
surely obtain real information.
In addition, people are able to
get more accurate information when they consider many news sources. It is
almost impossible that every news sources convey exactly same information about
a single event. It is surely conceivable that the information missed by a
information supplier can be found by others. Also, if many news providers
deliver almost same material, we can surely say that it is almost accurate. For
example, when I was young, I liked Michael Jackson very much but there are many
allegations about him in which he is portrayed the person who hates black
people and feel shameful about his race. However, another article conveyed that
he's actually suffering a disease harmful to his face. After getting this
information, I was able to get precise facts about him.
In
conclusion, I firmly believe that in order to acquire better information,
people should check diverse sources of news. Not only can they avoid to be intolerant,
but also it is highly likely for people to get more information with accuracy. All
in all, we are living in the ocean of information. Accordingly, we try to make
effort to have more number of and precise information. |
