Nowadays we get a lot of information from the media. However, how much of the information can we believe in?
I know that newspaper is the reflection of what happens in the world, but sometimes it pays too much attention to the gossip of some stars. People are tracked even when they go to the toilet. Not far before, an actress was taken photos of when she was getting changed. Then when the newspaper was published, it sold out quickly. The actress got into trouble and everyone was shocked and angry with it. What was worse, when others blamed the newspaper office for letting the piracy out, the manager said that they just met the demands of the public. As a matter of fact, what he said is true. However, media is just a tool for us to know what is going on all over the world rather than entrench others’ piracy. Why do we care so much about the others’ life which has nothing to do with ourselves? Long long ago, there was no media so that people just minded their own business. In contrary, the appearance of media helps people to know the things happening all over the world but also make it easy to let the piracy out. In my opinion, if the media can pay more attention to the events that affect us actually rather than the gossip of some stars, our world will much more beautiful.
In addition, some newspapers bend the truth. For example, some newspapers say that Tibet is an independent country. Every time when I see the words like that, I will be very angry. What is worse, some newspapers even say that what Dalai has done is right that China is supposed to give freedom back to Tibet. I can understand that maybe they do not know much clearly about Tibet and China, but I think if so, they can just describe the fact rather than give a wrong comment, which may cause more and more people misunderstand China. As a result, I think if the newspapers can pay more attention to the acuity of the news, they can sell better and get better reputation.
Nowadays, newspapers even become a way to make money. What I want to say is that please do not let the money blank your eyes and make more efforts to the acuity and value of the news.

It is a serious problem that more and more newspapers focus on the scandals of celebrities. Although they are public figures, they still have their private life which should be protected. Sometimes, paparazzi even track the famous people and take pictures of them in order to get a high payment from newspaper office. I think this kind of phenomena should be forbidden. We should respect their private life.
ReplyDeletei agree with you. as the media developing, the world become more convenient, but at the same time, the problem comes. so we should create these media carefully.
ReplyDeletemedia is a double-fold sword which can do both good and harm to our society.on one hand,it makes our goverment more transparent so public can monitor their behaviors;on the other hand,it put our pravacies in danger.
ReplyDeletein my opinion, maybe media companies have too much power now! they can control people's thinking by reporting the news. they can only choose the news which is benefit to them.. maybe in the future, things will change to be better
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right. The media definitely has too much power. On the other hand, the media can give the voice from the people to the public regardless of the government. Every coins have two sides.
ReplyDeletewhat you say is right. i share the same opinion with you. however, i think it is not the publishers' fault to reveal the privacy of famous stars to the public, but it is the fault of the readers. the readers' appetite decides which news will be on a newspaper. in my opinion, the most tough problem is how to change the appreciation orientation of the public.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you. All the people have their rights for privacy. Though the famous people are focused and their fans are curious, people need to respect them.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but be reminded of the economic theory of demand and supply: Does the supply of such "ugly truths" about public figures (for example, the world was obssessed with the golf prodigy Tiger Wood's scandal late last year and recently, famous local movie director Jack Neo's extra-marital affair) come about because of a demand of these news by the general public or does the demand of such news generate a market or platform for the media players to exploit?
