Media includes movies, TV, books, newspapers, magazines, radio, and the Web. Media is powerful in providing us information about sports, world news, fashion, entertainments, music. Everything we see, we hear, we perceive about events that happen around the world is due to media’s strength. Because of media, we can constantly update about our information of places even far away from us. Moreover, our life has more fun when media is involved.
However, media has some weaknesses. No matter in what countries, the news, the magazines tend to report more about negative stuffs, such as disasters, murder, gossip. The reason why media doesn’t prefer more positive topics is the public are lacking interest on charity, volunteering work. In order to boost the sale and to make more money, the media has to satisfy what the majority want.
In America, the media has created an atmosphere of fear throughout the country because the movies, the television shows, and the news are always about violence. Thus, the crime rate is so high in America. Every day when the public turn on the TV, they only see bad stuff.
For coverage of an important event, I think newspapers seem most dependable to me. I believe that physical copies are always more formal than online ones, so it’s appropriate to have printed newspapers while reporting important event.
