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?
It is irrefutable that newspapers and television are great sources of knowledge and information.
However
, the news
editor
plays an important role in making crucial decisions about broadcasting the news
. Nowadays bad news
gets more viewers than good ones due to public interest and way of presentation. According to my point of view, there is some factor which affects a publisher's decision and it would be better to report only good news
on television or in the newspaper.
The first
and foremost reason which influences the decision of the editor
is popularity. whenever a news
editor
wants to publish their news
then
they always print and broadcast that news
which gains more popularity. In other words
, they print only the news
which attracts most of the people in the world. For example
, in news
related to politics, personal relationship is in demand in society. Moreover
, the second
factor they consider is profit. The publisher presents their news
in front of viewers with exaggeration to achieve more benefits because, if they publish the news
in a simple way then
individually do not take interest in it and its effects on TRP as well as, profitability
There is no doubt that nowadays bad news
is more acceptable as compared to the good news
. To illustrate, rape news
, crime-related, and news
of personal affairs are gaining more publicity rather than news
of economic growth of the nation and success stories. The main reason behind it is that people are always interesting to watch such
kinds of incidents and the media also
play bad news
more frequently than good news
. On the flip side, it would be better for the individual as well as, news
companies if they publish good news
instead
of bad one because, it help to improve the thinking of individual and national development. Thus
, it is the right of the editor
to present only that news
which is true and real.
To conclude, public interest, choice, profit margin and publicity there is the main factor which influences the editor
during the time of broadcasting. But according to my view, it is essential that does not to change the real news
for gaining popularity and profit.Submitted by gs.chadda on
