Most people think that the truth should be objective rather than subjective when it comes to the news. Do you think all news is true? What is the function of a newspaper?

The majority of society assumes that the facts should be delivered objectively rather than subjectively in terms of
news
. I believe not all
news
reports are true; the aim of
newspapers
is to update daily facts and circumstances to society. Nowadays,
news
both paper-based and social network-based is often used for politics, propaganda, and financial benefits rather than to show the truth to the world.
Hence
, the information on the
news
is not to tell
people
what is going on but to make
people
believe what they want to.
For instance
, there was a flash mob of protesters in Thailand recently complaining about the influence-peddling and corruption of the government. The demonstrators wanted only real democracy. There was no violence among protesters but the police; the officers were allowed to use weapons against the bare-hand
people
, numerous persons got hurt.
Nonetheless
, the
news
on television and newspaper did not mention the mob at all and announced that the mob was the one who amused and threatened the cops.
This
shows the main
media
of the country have chosen their own and political interests not responsible for human beings. In part of a newspaper's function, the main purpose of the newspaper is to provide accurate information to the public. Since it is a large mass
news
media
, it can reach a variety of
people
, especially old
people
and
people
who do not use social
media
which still are a tremendous group of the population.
Moreover
,
newspapers
and all
news
not only deliver data to the audiences but
also
inform, educate, and shape
people
’s minds in society.
Accordingly
,
newspapers
are one of the essential tools to control and direct the community. In conclusion, I think
news
nowadays is inaccurate and rather subject to the welfare of the company more than cherishing the rights of human beings, whilst
newspapers
are the big
media
part and middle object to communicate with
people
.
