At present the mass media is very influential, and the lives of many people are affected by the news. Why do you think this is happening? Is this a positive or negative development?
The influence of mass
media
is considered a very useful power, as it can be used to make or destroy someone's career. I believe that with time, news
channels
have downgraded and are headed towards negative development. This
essay will look into why I think media
is going towards negative development.
Firstly
, with the rise in technology, people have started to stop watching news
on television and have switched to social media
, in a desperate attempt to gain viewership, news
channels
have started to post clips from social media
out of context in order to gain viewership while
also
defaming someone. This
has a huge impact on people as they form opinions based on news
from news
channels
and can create a negative following for the person. For instance
, I have seen many actors who have been defamed and their careers tampered with just because of mass media
.
Secondly
, news
channels
also
have the power to make someone's future because of the influence they have, certain news
channels
are bought by political parties which then
use them to promote themselves and spread their ideas to the public. For example
, I have seen many politicians which are being broadcasted on news
channels
for the upcoming elections. Moreover
, news
channels
have also
started to spread irrelevant and misinformation which has made them less credentialed over time.
To conclude
, I think that with the increase of people consuming news
from social media
, media
channels
have started to spread irrelevant and misinformation which has changed their trajectory towards negative development.Submitted by satyarthverma88 on
