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.

News has become an important aspect of daily life, everyone is keen on knowing what is happening around them. But nowadays news editors manipulates news, according to their interest and benefit and giving more importance to unpleasant news rather than informative or good news. In the earlier days there were only few news channels and print media, but now the thing is entirely changed. There are plenty of channels and newspapers are available nowadays.
Therefore
, the public often gets confused which one should they trust, when they are reading or watching a news because of sheer difference of facts presented in various news agencies. The majority of the news media are influenced in some way or another, everyone has their on interest when they report some incidents.
For instance
, in India almost all the political parties owns a channel
also
some business groups
also
. They are all using these channels to improve their public image or convey their interest to the general public.
Furthermore
, multinational companies
also
have some control over these media as they are the major source of revenues of these channels.
In addition
, news agencies currently giving more importance to bad news like controversies or wars. They always think
this
is the best strategy to get public attention, sadly they actually succeeded in
this
by a large extent. It is quite common that, if there is some natural disasters or political controversies people tend to watch more news about it. The public is more keen on knowing
such
kind of incidents. In my opinion, the media should change their strategy and give more weightage to good news. In
such
way they can able to create a positive energy in society's mind. On top that
this
will
also
help to boost the morale of persons especially youths. To recapitulate, the news media has a great influence in people's life, so they should be more careful when they are broadcasting news
also
they should report incidents genuinely without being biased.

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
