For the time being, the information of
news
 has always been a topic of interest. While some claim that we can obtain some insights from
news
, the opposite makes a statement that
journalists
 are not reliable at all. From my perspective, I consider myself as an advocate for the latter and I believe that
journalists
 should have a certain virtue. Without a shadow of a doubt, it is reasonable to raise scepticism of the

 media that have a clear preference to focus on ungrounded or tabloid
news
, especially those related to personal life scandals of celebrities with a view to drawing an appeal to more readers.
For instance
, a prominent media house named Channel 14 whose target is adolescents so it always gives sensational titles and focuses on shocking
news
 of stars.
As a result
, it is undeniable that people should not believe
journalists
 too much.
Additionally
, there are numerous characteristics that
journalists
 should have.
First
 of all, they ought to be able to use careful judgment when organizing and reporting information.
Moreover
, determination and persistence have a significant role in defending the freedom of the press and ordinary people’s right to know the truth, despite being under different forms of pressure.
Besides
, to act as successful communicators and information senders,
journalists
 should have a good command of language skills and a real knowledge of different cultures, countries, races and social groups. In conclusion,
although
 some insights in
news
 are right and we can attain them, we should not completely trust
journalists
.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
