Nowadays, the mass media do not report the news; they make the news.
Media is defined as organisations of various newspapers or television channels. I truly agree that some time they are making inaccurate reports. In my opinion, they have forgotten the most fundamental value of a member of the media - to report the truth and fact and nothing more. Nowadays, due to globalisation and opening of the societies, reporters are losing their focus and concentrating too much on the audience. They face strong competition and they hope to sell their papers well. So they want to publish articles that people are interested in and the norm are more fonds of scandals and information of celebrities' work and love life. For example, Chinese celebrity Jolin Tsai was to have affair with one of the male celebrity at one of the hotel. Although the manager of d came out to clarify the matter and rebuttal what the mediam plus evidence was shown to the public that the affair was just made belief, even how to now, the public have a deep impression of the "affair".
But the good thing that most of the news reported are true as they are being checked by the government agency which would not even tolerate one untrue statment. But in my opinin, the reporters and editors of the mass media should understand a important point that they are the bridge that link the world together. Thus it is important to be stand on the fence and not be biased to any of the sides, and if they are interested only in earning money and gaining fame, they should never be the "bridge". These are noble jobs that require a group of justice and upright people to uphold.
These have been cases that untrue reports were made and it caused a uproar in the world that causes serious harm to people. One of it would be the racial descmination that occur during the 1960-1970 when mass media(Malaysia) broadcast Malays in Singapore getting bullied. Althogh this was fake and the singapore government came out to clarify. It was to late and there was bad blood between the chinese and the malays which caused the race riot in singapore. Many people were injured and some even died.
This show us that it is thus very important for the mass media to make truthful report as their actions will affect the communities greatly.
