Are the News Media a Negative Development?
It is widely believed that the news media always misinterpret or exaggerate their findings. And even worse, when it comes to personal privacy, the news media have frequently come under fire. However, since the development of modern technology has provided the news media with more quick channels to transmit information, many people regard the news media not only as an information provider but also as a lifesaver, which contribute a lot to the development of society.
In my point of view, the news media can bring positive impacts if they are used wisely and appropriately. To begin with, the news media are one of the major forces to expose political scandals. They propel the related departments to establish the open complaint channels. What’s more, public welfare undertakings are thriving because of the energetic publicity and direct promotion of the media. Lastly, nowadays people can get information via various channels, such as newspaper, magazine, television and the Internet. The news media can timely provide information about events happening around us or in other countries, which can help us in decision making.
In brief, the news media have become more influential in our daily life. They can be a positive development if the relationship between their regulation and freedom is balanced.
