Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no special knowledge of the following topic: 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? Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. You should write at least 254 words.

It is the news reporters who take the decision about the content that will be shown on television

as well as

published in newspapers. Their decisions could be based on various factors

such

as their personal bias, the sensitivity of the data, impacts the report could have etc. In my opinion, all of us have become accustomed to negative information.

who could think of different possible solutions.

For instance

, in Bangladesh, there was a lot of poverty and someone came up with an initiative which was empowering women. Women are very hardworking and have a lot of ethics.

Hence

, groups of ladies were given loans to start new businesses. The idea worked and the economy of that nation improved. A simple idea could change the future of a county.
