News Information or Manipulation”


Do you think that all the news by television, newspapers or internet is completely true? Long time ago, we have been manipulated by TV news in newspapers or by internet, some of them are true, but most of the times the real content of each new are exaggerated the purposes of that can be various like government manipulation(for hiding economic or serious social problems in a country). According to this the media takes advantage of that for keeping a high ratting publishing and transmitting lies. For this reason is important to have an objective view about the events that are happening around the world.

The impact of a new is something that undoubtedly disturbs the pace of a place or a person. Nowadays is very common that TV news, news papers or the internet manipulated the information in order to have to everybody attend about their TV programs or buy the newspapers, this is something that would be considerate like illegal practice of Journalism, because everybody has like unique source of information the TV news, newspapers which modify the information according to their interests increasing the stress and creating panic using in bad way the new information.

Other aspect that the media are practicing is the concealing of information; sometimes the objective is hide bad economic handles by the government, in other situations the importance and seriousness of the social problems can not be published in any way. This is something very serious because we as citizens have the right of being well informed. According to the magazine Newsweek the 45% of newspapers around the world edit their information until 60% and we as readers of these newspapers only know the 40% of the true. According to the global warming foundation (2001), the news about this serious problem of the planet is the main new that TV news and newspapers do not publish for avoiding panic in the world, something that is very stupid because, if they really practicing the real Journalism, they must feel the obligation of publish the true in this way everybody would take a position about the problem.

About the way that the media publish the problems are also manipulation about that, because sometimes the it is impossible to hide the information and the TV news and mainly newspapers tone down or change the name to big problems, in this way the society accept the events with out comments or like something very normal when really is something serious. This kind of manipulation is the most common nowadays, because now everybody has access to the information through many ways and the media hide sometimes horrible things with a soft or nice new name. According to the New York Times (May, 2009) Mexico is one of the countries around the world, where the practice of Journalism on well know and famous sources of information are the worst, considerate like filthy because not it is real information and the Journalism is the best way for concealing illegal acts.

As a conclusion it is important to take into consideration, that probably all the things that are happening around the world are obviously true but the impact, the importance and seriousness of each one can be received for the people according the source that they see or read. No is good generalize about the media, but nowadays the manipulation of the news is something that the channels of TV news and editorials of each newspaper see like a good business even more profitable than the gain that they receive for advertising.
