It is true that there is a widely held perception in many parts of the world today that the news media nowadays have influenced people’s lives in negative ways. Although some people might believe that media is always influencing lives negatively, I would like to go on the opposite side. In the following essay, I aim to identify the sources of this problem as well as some viable solutions to it.
To begin with, we get information about what have happened in the world, diseases and their treatments etc. The best sample of this is COVID 19. At the during COVID if news media was not it would be difficult that conveying the severity of the illness, information about it for example, the rising toll of deaths, number of infected peoples to the citizens. If media wasn’t there to broadcast live all these things and help us, we couldn’t be able to fight with that infectious disease.
Furthermore, news media entertains us with different live broadcasts. For instance: The Euro and the FIFA World Cup in football are the two most enjoyed TV shows in the earth. However, in media fake news, rumors spread so fast and this can attract people to negative ways.
In conclusion, I believe that this is clearly a problem of such complexity that no solution is likely in the short term.However, I believe that the measures outlined above would constitute a good first step.
