Those who think that a modern society makes us too busy that we do not have enough time to get infromation from various news sources might say that it is enough to keep even informed the latest information from TV. However, I agree with the idea thatin order to be well-informed, it is best to get information from a variety of news sources. There are two major aspects: to have a deep understanding and various viewpoints.
To begin with, in the past, it was enough for people to watch TV as a way to get information. However, as society is getting more complicated, the events that are happening around the world is not as simple as it had been. Therefore, the way of being well-informed has changed. It was to watch TV with your family after dinner, but it is now to get information from as many sources as possible. There are advantages and disadvantages in each news sources. For example, TV can provide us audio-visulized information so it is easier for us to undersantand the news but it cannot deal with events in depth. Also since we need to watch it at a certain place at a certain time, it is somewhat inconvinient for us in this time-sensative world. However, we can read newspapers in our spare time and it provides us information in depth. It is not all. We also have a radio. We can get information by listening to the radio while driving or cleaning our house. It is one of best ways to get information when it comes to saving time. Since there are pros and cons in each news source, in order to be well informed,there is nothing more critical than getting information from many different news sources.
More over, as far as having various viewpoints is concerned, it is very essential to get infromation from all kinds of news sources.In a sense, it might be true that getting information from various news sources, might interfere with our own opinion about the events. However,in order to have a logical opinion about the events, knowing information from many different view points is essential. As human relationships are getting more complicated in this complex society, the way of sharing your opinion with others has changed. It was to be a become an expert in your field only but now it is to know infromation from various different view points and able to defend your opinion. Therefore, you need to know the events with wide perspectives. For example, you read a newspaper which supports one candidate of the presiedent. You would not effectively share your opinion with your friends who support other candidates because you do not know about information about other candidates. Moreover, suppose thatyou read an article about a school that says only good things about the school. You would really want to go to that school. But if the megazine is for only those who are wealthy and therefore, leave out the information about tuition and other financial burdens you might have then it might be useless information for you.
In lusion, as far as having a deep understanind and various viewpoints is concerned, there is nothing more important than being informed rom a variety news sources. In that way, you can survive in this dog eat dog world.
