importance of media

“Importance and role of the media in our society. Discuss.”

The public opinion follow this issue with attention because every family owns more than one TV or Personal Computer.
The role of the media is very important in our society because it should provide information about everytihg that happens in the World.

Sometimes, journalists provide partial information because of many reasons such as economic and political power. This is uncorrect because a lot of children watch TV and the media has the power to influence them. Therefore, parents have to avoid leaving their children in front of the TV alone trying to explain to them what is true, partly true or false. This is a very difficult duty because also parents have to pay attention and analize all the news that the TV is able to spread. We have to mantain the correct distance from the news, avoiding to fell under the influence of the medias, but it is not so easy because if you want to receive correct information you need to listen to opinions of different parts involved in every issue discussed. This requires time, patience, money and so on. If you considere that our time, patience and money will become always less in the future, the situation is really sad!

Nowadays, the media spreads its information trought the “INTERNET” and it is followed a lot especially by the young. Also in this case, parents are involved to check and control what kind of information their children receive. Most of the time, parents do not use the computer very well and when they want to check thei children, they have to conduct surprise inspection when they are using the computer. But most of time they are ablr to cover their activities, if they want!
I don’t think that news in newspapers are a danger because only few and older people have the time and patience to read them. The young, for instance, don’t even want to read books for school, consequently, they refuse to read newspapers or magazines.

For the reasons mentioned above, I would like to receive good information, without comments, simple and clear, but I understand that journalists can’t live this way, therefore I would like to invite everyone to keep only the news, without personalism in order to know what it is truly right! (380)
