The role of newspapers and

news

channels is to report the

news

of the world in an unadulterated fashion.

However

, many people feel that most of the

news

being reported is negative and bad. In

this

essay, we shall see what the purpose of

this

is. On one hand, it is important to be objective when reporting the

news

because it allows the viewers to make their own realizations. But one thing that needs to be understood here is that they are not reporting on fictional events,

instead

, they are broadcasting on actual live events, and even though it may be depressing to continuously hear bad

news

, it is

also

important to know about it.

For example

, when I was young and living in Dubai, during the Gulf War we always used to complain about how everyone constantly talks about it. Only later we understood, that the reason people discussed it a lot was that geographically we were in the same region as Kuwait, and

therefore

was the worry about how it would affect the United Arab Emirates. Alternately, not all the

news

reported in the newspapers is bad. There are sections dedicated to reporting on the good acts performed by strangers all over the world.

In addition

this

, sections of the newspaper are dedicated to cartoons, puzzles, and features on how to improve health. In conclusion,

although

the majority of the

news

that is

being reported is bad, we need to understand that

this

is the world we are living in, and we need to be aware of what is happening around us because we never know a situation in one country may affect us.
