News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was reported? Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

Current affairs in the media

is edited

Suggestion

are edited

; top-ranking personnel in the news outlets arbitrarily come to a decision on what is released to the public.

This

is apparent when scanning through a range of publications and broadcasters on a particular day; as there will be

censoring

Suggestion

censored

and

oversharing

on different levels. Various reasons factor in and play a part in the decision-making process.

For instance

, editor's or owner's political or cultural affiliations, benefactors of the institutions, hidden agendas etc. Higher positions are invariably influenced by their own associations; be it political, racial, religious or gender-based; and

this

reflects on their articles presented to the public.

On the other hand

, a powerful political force could strong arm what is provided to the public as well. On the same lines, the shareholders or donation-providers weigh in on how to nip and tuck a story.

Moreover

, there may be unseen propaganda deciding news items that only become evident with time. A good example is reporting done on presidential daily activities. Repeatedly being fed unpleasant news does take its toll, eventually, we become sensitized to it and could even grow to be oblivious to it.

This

is because, it is human nature to adapt to

safe-guard

make safe

safeguard

ourselves. To elaborate more, consistent emotional turmoil is

counter-productive

tending to hinder the achievement of a goal

counterproductive

for the

wellbeing

Suggestion

well being

of mankind.

For example

, in war torn countries, death is part and parcel of daily living. Is the solution to be given a higher percentage of joyful news? The answer is subjective.

Although

, in an ideal world, present happenings should be informed as it is,

unbiasedly

in an unabashed manner

unabashedly

However

, sadly, humans are emotional creatures; influenced by everything around them.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

Summary
Restatement of thesis
Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

In conclusion
To conclude
To summarize
Finally
In a nutshell
In general
