When the media does not report news truthfully to us
Every person in this world relies on TV, radio, newspaper and the Internet for the latest and the hottest stories to talk about, or in essence whatever news is significant to whichever country they may be in. So what happens when the media does not report news truthfully?
There are occasions why and when the media does not report news truthfully, simply because of the fact that they are paid to construe the idea differently, they are a member of an organization that lives for power, or due to personal grudge or agenda.
So does it affect a simple person when the media does not report the news truthfully? Let me give a not-so complex example. In showbiz, a 20 year old celebrity girl exclusively signed for an established TV station, broke up with a celebrity guy who just quit his job and went elsewhere. A video on YouTube about them getting an abortion suddenly came about. It became more controversial because the girls’ image is conservative, so all the Station did was a smear – campaign, they used all their resources to hide the truth by doing sympathy interviews while she cried - image build ups and lawsuits were filed. In the world full of stress, people buy it, because it’s all everyone talks about it. A responsible TV station should bring more than just this ugly story, why don’t we see or hear about a senior citizens that “bill” was finally approved or a new cure for a sickness that has been found? As an avid viewer, we do not see the other side of the story when the media does not report news truthfully. We become blinded by what we know and we become ignorant and one-sided.
This issue has been crippling what the true meaning of Media is. When the media does not report news truthfully, we judge an innocent person because of how it was delivered to us, even if the person has not gone to trial, we’ve already decided he was guilty. So this is unfair to the viewing public, to radio listeners, newspaper listeners and internet users. The Media’s role is to provide unbiased, factual, informative and honest news that will let us know for the reason of responsible public service only and not for anyone’s favor.
We know the media does not report news truthfully when the election is on, so many lies, black propagandas and to promote oneself. Why can’t we show and interview them all, instead of only a few? This is due to the fact that the Executives of whatever type of Media are either paid or promised to do something when elected. We know how conniving and dirty politics and the government are but fraudulent newsmen/women still agree to this scheme. There are only a few who live up to responsible broadcasting standards. Since we are the ones receiving the information, we must do something when the media does not report news truthfully. We do have resources too, like the Internet by using social media sites, blogging, or information campaigns - let’s use our freedom to express ourselves so that these irresponsible people wake up to themselves and start bringing us accurate and truthful news that reflects reality.
