Media - News.
What is Media?
In general, "media" refers to various means of communication. For example, television, radio, and the newspaper are different types of media. The term can also be usedas a collective noun for the press or news reporting agencies. In the computer world, "media" is also used as a collective noun, but refers to different types of data storage options.
What is News?News has two priorities: it must be current, and it must mean something to people.
On the surface at least, the objective of news is to inform the audience. It's the job of all the news media totell people what's going on in their community - locally, nationally or globally. In this sense, the news media provide a valuable public service. But the media are also businesses - and like allbusinesses they have to make money to keep going. Audiences today can get news and information from many different sources.
Different ways in wich you can get the news:
Face to face, on the TV orradio, in newspapers and magazines, by phone, in a text message, by letter, by e-mail, on a Web site, or at a meeting.
This increased competition is putting pressure on media outlets to attractadvertising dollars to keep them running. This is especially true for privately owned media, but it's also a concern for publicly owned media (such as CBC) that need to attract audiences and ad revenues tosurvive.
Media outlets have to cater to their audiences, and they compete with one another to provide what they think their "customers" want. This can certainly mean honest and factual news reporting.But it can also mean shorter, more exciting stories; flashy, sexy, or shocking images; crime, death, disaster, tragedy; confrontation, violence, controversy; or anything else that might attractviewers or readers. When taken to extremes (as in the "tabloid" newspapers or television shows), "news" can become just another type of sensational entertainment.
