‘Nowadays, news companies spend a lot of money covering international news. However, local news is more relevant to people’s lives and should receive more funding.’ To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Media
companies are spending a huge amount of money for servicing international news
. There is a debate about whether local news
should receive more funding because it is more related to local inhabitants
lives. My point of view is in the middle between these ideas.
As a citizen, I always follow up on updated Change noun form
inhabitants'
inhabitant's
news
in my country and also
in my city. I would like to learn what municipality recently has built or opened new facilities such
as theatres, parks, schools or leisure activities around me. Additionally
, I would like to get some information about news
such
as weather forecasting, and folks in my city who need help even if violent news
to take precautions. Therefore
, local media
is important and they have to get enough money to stay alive.
However
, I believe that international news
is as important as local news
. People
are aware of the news
which has been occurring in the world via international channels such
as tragic information due to
war or natural disasters. For example
, A big earthquake happened in February 2023 in the southeast of Turkey. There was a huge devastation and, unfortunately, lots of people
lost their lives due to
the collapsed buildings. The needs of surviving people
have been informed through the international media
. All countries gave their support after the earthquake for searching people
and sheltering survivors.
In conclusion, all the media
sources are important for people
. I firmly believe that the most important thing is that these companies whether local or international should give the news
in a correct manner. That means they have to be independent and straightforward aspect. They have to have enough financial resources to be independent. Therefore
, financial sources and funding should be shared according to
their needs.Submitted by nilufer.korkmaz on
