There is a prevalent debate that the news broadcast from government or private channels should be accurate. While others agree with this notion, I am inclined to broadly agree with the argument for several multifaceted reasons.
The editors of the news should consider that the purpose of the news is to provide actual updates, not entertainment. News is a form of reporting that interprets real-life events for the public. Thus, various types of news offer myriad benefits to the community. For instance, weather forecast programs warn individuals to be aware of taking preventive measures for upcoming hazards like storms, earthquakes, and flooding. The news of vehicle accidents in urban areas reminds people to control their bad driving behavior, such as crossing the red light and driving beyond the speed limit. In certain circumstances, there may be some intensity to the cases that are necessary to report, coupled with the news, such as the rate of fatalities at the scene, to maintain the reality of the news.
In contrast, most people enjoy watching news involving good content rather than violent ones. For instance, the number of viewers is greater for news about celebrity marriages and their daily activities compared to severe crime news, such as cases of robbery and murder. They tend not to see the disgusting pictures of injuries at the scene, like blood and crushed body organs in car accident cases. Additionally, for students who have faced sorrowful events in their academic results and adults who have to overcome intense difficulties in their workplaces, watching bad news disappoints them repeatedly. Therefore, it is imperative that the amount of news broadcast be balanced between good and bad.
In conclusion, while broadcasting good news seems to be instrumental in maintaining the positive emotions of the viewers, it is crucial to prioritize the reality and quality of the news. The effective strategy is to separate the news into distinct categories of good and bad before broadcasting.
