Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The news media is a reliable source of unbiased information. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer |
With the advent of information techonology, people are enable to enjoy a influx of unlimited information from the news media. In this regard, a controversy has arisen over whether these infomration are reliable source or biased. In my opinion, I firmly believe that news media is portrayed in favor of major corporations own media companies and they exaggerate the stories to make it more appealing.
To begin with, most news and information provided from media is somehow composed with ideas and influences from major companies or political groups that have relationship with highranking officials in media industries. This is largely because mass media such as newspaper and TV, reap thier most beneifits from selling advertisments and major companies such as samsung and sony mostly buy expensive advertisements. Therefore, sometimes news media and companies make a deal to portray the news in a way of favorable to companies' image providing that they purchase advertisement. For example, since the president of Korea was elected from different party, which most major newspapers(조중동) supported, they deliberately write the stories that are praising the president but not based on the truth.
In addition, news media often grossly exaggerate the story or information to attract more attention from public. The main reason behind this is that they gain most of prfits depending on the audience rating. Therefore the story should be different and unusual from other competitive channels and newspapers to approach to more people. For instance, when Paris Hilton, who is one of the most famous celebrities for making troubles in U.S., was arrested for drinking drive without a licence, all the news and magazines spotlighted that issue in every coverage of news.
In conclusion, news media is certainly not reliable considering that it is controlled by person with one opinion and exagerate stories not based on truth. In this respect, people should comp up with their own conclusion even after they read news medias, which so-called "trustworthy"
