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?

Nowadays, it is a hard but true fact that it is in the hands of the news writers that what is to be displayed on televisions and what is to be written in the newspapers. Undoubtedly, there are multiple factors behind
this
such
as political influence, target audience etc.
Firstly
, it is true that we are addicted to negative news as, media, in my opinion, is presenting facts in
such
a way and
secondly
, I opine that television should present the true and fair picture, whether it is good or bad. Let's discuss it in detail .
To begin
with, publishing was considered to be the
first
and foremost pillar of democracy, whereas, it would not be wrong to say that it is under huge threat. Various malicious leaders for their own agenda try to play foul and use channels as their primary source of debating along with defaming other parties. To illustrate, one of the ruling leaders intentionally provoked the opposition to utter some bad words on the live forum.
Thus
, it is evident that media agencies are more inclined to few powerful rulers.
On the other hand
, publishing houses are highly inclined towards reporting negative information, rather than focusing on the other side of the coin.
For example
, in the pandemic, both papers and channels reported a rapid increase in cases,
on the contrary
, none of them talked about the recovery rate.
Therefore
, it can be concluded that publishing houses successfully have captured their viewers while displaying negative info, but it would create more positivity in society if they flip the coin. To recapitulate, it is not a prudent approach to be biased towards a certain set of people or to be pessimistic always, alternatively, it should be the prime focus of the media houses to be true, fair and neutral.

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
