Newspapers: statement paragraph
Statement:
‘No online news sources are entirely trustworthy’
I somewhat agree to this statement. The reason I agree with
this statement is because all news sources to a degree are subjective, meaning
that the content they publish is biased to a certain extent. This is done as
they have different target audiences. For example a right wing newspaper may
publish more conservative views, whereas a left wing newspaper will publish
liberal views. Therefore, it can be argued that no online news sources are
entirely trustworthy because in the end it all comes down to what the consumer
wants to read or expects to read. Another reason why I somewhat agree to this
statement is because in the ‘modern world’ there has been an increase in use of
new/digital media, therefore people are more vulnerable to hearing such fake
news (the increase means that people will start to believe what they read as
they become more dependable and reliable on new/digital media. Also, the internet
has no boundaries to what it can and can’t publish, so their content could be
unreliable.
