Two-way Discussion
We’ve been talking about a newspaper/magazine which you read and now I’d like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this. Let’s consider first the topic of media.
How have the ways people access the media changed in your country over the last decade?
The issue of Internet-based music and video piracy has become critical. What do you think can be done about this problem?
As electronic media becomes more and more accessible, many forms of print media are disappearing. Do you consider this to be a positive or negative trend?
Now, let’s talk about the role of the media in your country.
What type of responsibility, if any, do you believe the media has to the general public?
Some people think the media is highly influential in spreading new ideas and trends. What’s your opinion?
How do you think the role of the media might change in the future? Why?

答案
Well I think for more and more people, accessing electronic media has become much more convenient and easy over the last decade. Thinking back, I don’t think that many people even had their own computers ten years ago, and now almost everyone has a laptop or a PDA or something, so they are constantly able to access the internet and online material. The internet and advent of mobile technology has completely changed the way people work, play and study.
This is such a big problem, that I’m not sure what the solution is. One approach might be to make the price of the movies and DVDs cheaper so that people can access them for less money, then they might be less tempted to purchase illegally copied material. There could also be higher penalties for selling pirated goods and the police could be stricter and more focused on apprehending people. Ultimately I think technology has to be utilized to fight the problem, like with an encrypted signature on each song file or video or something. However, I don’t think this problem can ever be completely solved.
I think that it’s such a shame that so many magazines and newspapers have gone under, because they certainly had something to offer. On the other hand, the growth of new online publications has been huge, and because it’s so cheap to set up, I think there are a lot more specific resources out there for people. I think there will always be print media though, because people enjoy the tangible nature of paper in hand.
I personally feel that the media has a huge responsibility to its public, in particular, the news media. This responsibility includes informing the public about political and other news as well as giving an unbiased view of current affairs. Often the media is what keeps politicians honest and I think this is definitely an important part of their role.
Of course it is, I definitely agree. Particularly with the Interact, the way new ideas are quickly distributed around the world through bogs, emails and social networking sites is amazing. Ideas spread incredibly quickly, especially in the areas of fashion and music. On a political level, I think the media is also influential as certain types of news commentary and opinion are selected for publication whereas others are not and this reflects a bias which is often then reflected in popular opinion. Ultimately it is up to the individual to ensure they are informed about a particular issue, though.
The media of the future in some ways is already here, through bogging and social networking. Everyone and anyone can publish whatever they like--we’re all editors and formalists and critics. So the role of traditional media might change to keep pace with this, and maintain an online presence. But overall the role of the media is to provide information and I don’t think that this key function will actually change significantly; just the way it is delivered may alter.
