In today's modern world, news is a large driving factor of how we perceive different countries and people from those countries. If we were to take news websites, news on the TV and news papers at face value in today's climate we should be terrified of anyone who runs, anyone who holds eye contact for more than 3 seconds or any person who is carrying a bag with them, no matter their colour, creed or religion. Reporting the news is a tricky task. An editor has to make a quick decision which story to run - is the story going to get the news corporation into legal trouble or could it reflect badly on the company. Many news websites wait for two or three confirmed reports before they run with a story so they do not run anything that is untrue, while others publish with only a single report, they do this to make sure that their news is the most current and up to date. In the world of news if you hesitate then its old news as people will have already read or seen it else where. |
