Media Responsibility
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008How the Media and 24 Hour News Programming is Dumbing Us Down…
What do you see when you turn on CNN at any given point in time (aside from Lou Dobbs crying and whining without actually doing anything)? How about Fox News? If there is breaking news, which channel do you go to first? Why? These are all good questions and I want to go over some of those questions briefly, but my main concern is the responsibility the media has to provide actual news coverage over real issues and not just looped reports discussing which actress got into trouble over the weekend. We have gossip shows, websites, and magazines if we need celebrity news and propaganda.
I believe the media has a responsibility to report “real” news even if they do not get the highest ratings (topics such as world events and issues, local events and issues). I would like to see a 24 hour news channel take the initiative and say… “From this day forward, we here at [fill in the blank] will no longer be reporting any issue regarding a celebrity.”
Can you imagine the buzz that statement would create?
