TOPIC 2: MEDIA & SOCIAL RELATIONS PATTERNS

  •  

    Mass media are evolving and changing constantly and the whole society is affected directly by it. There are fewer and fewer newspapers since almost nobody wants to spend money on the same information they can find in the Internet for free. Television is also suffering this change, because most people look for all the information they are interested in in the Internet. Internet allows us to be in a small bubble with the information we want any time.

    Not all journalists are the only guarantee for having real information and keeping freedom. Every journalist gives different information and there is some information that can be manipulated.

    The press written on paper is disappearing, but not everywhere. In Japan, for example, paper press is in vogue,  unlike the other western countries.

    Most of people know perfectly well that writen information is much trustworthier, but in spite of knowing it we keep on looking for information in the network, which is always available. This is a bad use, because we are confronted with false  or invented information very often.

    Although this situation affects everyone directly or indirectly, human beings only feel affected by very close things. We students only look for information about what is really close to us.

    The problem will arrive in a future when the Internet will spread completely and will have the complete control of the society.

    Paper press will disappear. We are turning into more practical people and we look for information which is quickly available. This will concern the newspapers and magazines companies, but mainly it will concern the whole society, because the journalists will take advantage of the innocence of the people inventing most of news to enrich themselves, because they will worrk for advertising sake.


    Social networks show two sides: the good one when they allow you to know the things that are happening in many places of the world (you can follow news about a war directly from who is suffering it), and the bad use many people do, using them only to gossip and to talk about celebrities.

    For sure, there will appear new ways of promoting a good information.
