News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers.
What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news were reported?
选项
答案
The mass media, such as TV and newspapers, are the windows through which the public looks at what changes are taking place around the world. As for editors, it is really an important, but hard job to select the main news events from the hundreds of updated current items on behalf of their audience or readers, when many factors need to be considered in making such choices.
First of all, the news should report the latest developments as soon as possible and editors react accordingly. What most people are concerned about is themselves and their immediate environment rather than events occurring on other distant continents, so editors also tend to present audiences with more local news. Finally, significant and unusual events are most newsworthy in the eyes of editors.
On this last point, editors seem to display a preference for "bad" news over "good" news, because bad news is more uncommon and abnormal. Good weather is just not news, but natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, and their casualties are another selling point. Therefore, editors frequently seek to base their headlines on something appalling, such as disasters. They have done this so much that we audiences have become used to this kind of reporting.
What is presented to audiences and readers directly determines what attitudes they hold towards the world. Reporting too much bad news has many negative effects, such as scaring the public and contributing to their pessimism and sense of insecurity. There is no doubt that increasing the number of good news reports would be advisable and would help to foster a more constructive and optimistic view of the world.
