The news media are a reliable source of unbiased information. |
On these days, especially in Korea, there were so many fake news around us. Once, one of Korean news companies suggested that dumpling imported from China could be made of wastes. In addition, one TV program translated mentioning about the mad cow disease wrong, and citizens had been confused. Like these examples, I strongly believe that the news media is not that much reliable media than many people think.
To begin with, all of the news are produced by humans. This means news can be mistakenly announced. Like the mad cow disease case above, some foreigners' mentioning can be mal-translated, and could cause huge confusions throughout the world. Also, because the news are made by humans, news can be abstracted or added. In other word, if the reporters have biased thinking, the news can tell the wrong facts. To illustrate, imagine that you are a reporter who really don't like the president of your nation. Then, because people who have job as a reporter are humans before being the reporters, you would probably write things which are negative facts of the president.
Second of all, news media can be banned to be boardcasted by the government. People say we have the rights to know about the things around us, but the real is not that ideal. In US, many people still think some people manipulate the contents of the news. In addition, many of them think there are some secret organizations which are for manipulating in the world. In the real life example, during the President Park Jeonghui, many news media were banned to tell the bad points of the President. Park. Even though the world become more free, I believe that there are some remainings and these are working right now.
To sum up, news media are not that much reliable resource of information than we think, because of these two reasons. Reporters can write the wrong things mistakenly or on purpose. Also, governments or organizations with huge power can ban reporters to tell the right things but which is harmful to governments or organizations themselves. |
