▶ Your Answer :
Some people may argue that it is enough to obtain knowledge through one famous mass media. However, I have a different opinion. I think that in order to be an intelligent person, people should gain information from a lot of diverse news sources. I have two reasons of this opinion and explain the view in more detail at the main point.
First of all, since well-informed people usually want to get planty of knowledge from diverse sources, people must get data from distint media in order to be a eludite person. This means that the well-informed people generally have a wider perspective and they are good at a lot of fields because of their broad view. In other words, in order to have a diverse view, people should gain information from dissimilar medias or sources. In this sense, it is necessary to have different news sources. This is convinceing example to support this idea. Gallup Korea conducted a related survey to this argument. They asked a group of people who are professional journalist how think about one specific news media. According to the result, vast majority of the respondents mentioned that it contains narrow views and lack of sources and fields. I believe that this surely supports the above mentioned opinion because one news source have a problem of shortage information and data.
Second, it is necessary to have a various medium because only one specific news sourse can contain distort information to certain event. To put it differently, certain media have their own perspective whatever progressive or conservative. What I mean here is that If a conservative news media see mass demonstration to disprove current government, they tend to construe wrong desicion of people and people have to stop the demonstration. On the other hands, progressive news sourses have a different interpretation to the same accident. They try to understand why people does domonstration and notify exact reason to unknown people. There was a case study that can help the argument. Reseacher found out tendency of two different mass media. It said that having different point of view two mass media largely have different interprets to the same accidents. This means that in order to have balanced concept, people have to read different mass media to the same event.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that in order to have well-informed, people should gain information from many different news sources because of these two reasons.
