It is often argued whether news is reliable or not. Some people maintain that news is different from rumor, others do not. In my case, i strongly support that news is reliable sources of information.
There are two reason why i stand this position. I can say the tight system and news company's credibility are the main reasons for my opinion.
First of all, news companies have tight producing system for credible information. There are a lot of persons who work for the news production from morning to evening. The journalists on the spot make stories according to facts at first step. If they send reports to the company desk, editoring person, check the reports contents again and again. If some emergecy situations break out, there may be more complex procedures for information checking. So we can believe the informations which are conveyed on the paper or through waves. For instance, Daily mail, the british news company is famous for its scrutiny and toughness for correctness and subjectness. British people are apt to believe the information in the paper, because they always have the credibility for the news company.
Secondly, both journalists and news companies are responsible for their journalistic roducts. reporters are trained for several months for credible articles after entering the company. Trainee journalists spend most of times on the spots and they are eager to check and check the facts repeatedly. Also news companies compete for the best reliable journalistic organisms. If they fail to report the truth, there can be some censorship from readers and civil groups. Sometimes people sue against the journalist or the news company. So they do their bests for good and credible news.
In conclusion, we can believe news due to news system and journalistic credibility. We should keep in minds asying that we want the newspaper without government, not the government without papers. That means that journalism as the 4th organism play the important role in the modern society.
