Got News?

               Why do we trust what is being said on TV news? Well, there are huge TV channels out there where a lot of people work towards conveying message about what is happening in a country and the entire world. We trust people in the news because they seem very knowledgeable and trustworthy about the content they are talking about plus they support their announcements by broadcasting events’ videos and interviewing people participating in the event. However, there is an issue with what we see on the television today. I have an opportunity to see news from two different countries in their original language; the issue I’ve noticed is that news about the same events in the world maybe be told very differently in different countries. By cropping out some parts from a video that has been taken and finding people that will give needed information/opinion news channels’ reporters from all round the world manage to show an issue in the unique perspective. Some people may argue that this is randomness explained by differences in cultures. I think, this is strictly has to deal with politics and how it affects news in order to give people a certain understanding of the issue and making its own propaganda. News being told on television has a huge influence on people’s opinion and attitudes. However, I think today as people become more educated and curious, they start to wonder and want to know more about the world rather than to be content with what major TV channels give them. This could be a reason why people today go on different social media channels such as YouTube where people from all around the world are able to put their content to show the real situation in their country.
