BBC school report What is news?
- INFORMATION
- ENTERTAINMENT
- SOCIALISISATION
- SURVEILLANCE
IN 1973 BLUMER AND KATZ CAME DEVELOPED 'THE USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY' ARGUING AUDIENCES CONSUME MEDIA TEXT FOR ONE OR MORE OF THE FOUR REASONS ABOVE.
NEWS:FACTS/INFORMATION
BUT...
BECAUSE THE NEWS YOU SEE ON THE TV,ONLINE AND IN THE NEWSPAPERS IS ALSO A PRODUCT THAT HAS TO SELLTO A TARGET AUDIENCE,IT CAN ALSO BE ENTERTAINING AND THIS MAY DISTRACT FROM FACTS.
Fake news is written and published with the intent to mislead in order to damage an agency, entity, or person, and/or gain financially or politically, often with sensationalist, exaggerated, or patently false headlines that grab attention.
"Fake news" was not a term many people used 18 months ago, but it is now seen as one of the greatest threats to democracy, free debate and the Western order. As well as being a favourite term of Donald Trump, it has been named the word of the year, raised tensions between nations, and may lead to regulation of social media. And yet, nobody can agree on what it is, how much of a problem it is, and what to do about it.
I THINK NEWS SHOULD NOT BE BIASED BECAUSE IF SOMEONE BELIEVED SOMETHING THAT WASNT TRUE IT WOULD CAUSE A LOT OF ARGUMENTS AND EVEN WAR.
