Mass Media
The mass media play an important part in our lives. Newspapers, radio and
especially TV inform us of what is going on in this world and give us wonderful
possibilities for education and entertainment. They also influence the way we see
the world and shape our views.
Of course, not all newspapers and TV programmes report the events objectively,
but serious journalists and TV reporters try to be fair and provide us with reliable
information.
It is true that the world today is full of dramatic events and most news seems to
be bad news. But people aren’t interested in ordinary events. That is why there
are so many programmes and articles about natural disasters, plane crashes, wars,
murders and robberies. Good news doesn’t usually make headlines. Bad news
does.
Some people say that journalists are given too much freedom. They often intrude
on people’s private lives. They follow celebrities and print sensational stories
about them which are untrue or half-true. They take photos of them in their most
intimate moments. The question is - should this be allowed?
The main source of news for millions of people is television. People like TV
news because they can see everything with their own eyes. And that’s an
important advantage. Seeing, as we know, is believing. Besides, it’s much more
difficult for politicians to lie in front of the cameras than on the pages of
newspapers.
Still, many people prefer the radio. It’s good to listen to in the car, or in the open
air, or when you do something about the house.
Newspapers don’t react to events as quickly as TV, but they usually provide us
with extra detail, comment and background information.
The Internet has recently become another important source of information. Its
main advantage is that news appears on the screen as soon as things happen in
real life and you don’t have to wait for news time on TV.
