Media acts as a mirror for the viewers; however, some people think that a news channel should telecast more amount of positive news on their channel instead of showing real news. I partially agree with this statement because, citizens should not get scared of anything by just watching it on a television and they should also be aware of all kind of things happening across the world.
On the one hand, spreading more of positive stories over media platform can lead to a good mental, physical as well as emotional health of individuals. Moreover, this can not only decrease the amount of fear but also the negativity will be decrease among them. For instance, a study has been done by WHO when the Covid virus was spread across the world, and the results showed that people were getting scared by just watching a fake story or a rumour of rise in the cases of corona virus in the world; hence it is a good idea that showing more of positive news can change the mind of mankind and it is better for them.
On the other hand, residents should be aware of all kind of information. Because, it will give a reality check to human beings. Although, it will spread awareness about some specific kind of stories or some new invention. some individuals said that a failure leads to the success, so it is essential to open out all kind of stories to ameliorate mankind. for example, the fire accident which occurred recently in rajkot city of Gujarat, it was caused due to some technical issue and lack of fire and safety equipments in side the amusement park; and that not only damaged the game zone but several human died in that incident; and this made the fire and safety system more strict than previously. So, it is crucial to showcase real news in the publications.
To conclude, I partially agree with the statement that instead of showing more of better news, media should provide real information on the platform.
