We grew up believing that the public media is our friend,
And that the common sense and good judgment on all that is important,
And as a trusted guide to life.
But we may also realize that this is not entirely true.
Let us bring together some of the disadvantages of the media with their various influences.
Its mission is very easy,
We can not resist such headlines.
Media needs to attract us if it wants to make money from advertisers or governments.
He is aware of our inability to address such headlines.
We go to the media to tell us what is important, but it often focuses on the interesting.
It may happen that the two categories match an event
It may be the most important event in the world is the most interesting as well,
But that does not usually happen.
We are fond of stories that include talk about power, fame, disasters and sex,
We are talking about schools, the problems of developing countries and financial resources.
We are not evil,
This is similar to our vulnerability to refined sugar, fat and salt
The media are doing their utmost to exploit this vulnerability.
Theoretically, the media plays an important democratic role,
It is supposed to draw the attention of the public to the most prominent problems of society,
Which in turn drives politicians to take measures to improve.
But the media is obsessed with scandals, it is always focused on the slips of a few people,
Rather than the pervasive systemic flaws that are difficult to see and are boring to talk about.
It gives people the impression that he appoints the weak on the strong,
This is not true.
The sacrifice of VIP scandals is nothing
It distracts us from the pursuit of broad-based development
Most community problems take time to solve,
But the constant change of national dialogue axes does not give enough priority to anything.
The media gains more when it is terrorized by talking about germs, viruses and explosions
It does not guide them to a sound logical assessment of the risks they face,
Or to accept the blackness of death, or solutions in general
It also increases profits by inciting anger rather than calming souls
About the conflict we face between good and evil, or philosophy that discusses human evil.
The media circulates naive terms about marital infidelities in Hollywood,
Or bad behavior of a model.
He pretends to pay attention to virtue.
While it actually provokes public feelings
Most of whom may wish to have the opportunity to try those who are publicly denounced.
The media is doing this to satisfy our imagination and our satisfaction with our belief in our goodness.
We believe that what matters now is what is happening in the news bulletins,
But most of what is happening now is less important than many of the events of the ancient past.
The past carries lessons that interest us,
The most important information is not always the result of the present, as the news claims.
When the media tries to act seriously, it will give us long articles on global warming
Which will only be read by a few people,
Then you are a choice between the vulgar or the hard-core.
While we need to present the most important issues in an attractive and interesting template.
We were overwhelmed with important stories by a serious journalist who was not enough
A double effort is needed to produce stories in an appropriate manner
Then make them as interesting as the latest Taylor Swift news.
The presence of celebrities in society is not a problem,
What we see as degeneration in the world of celebrities is the result of our focus on the wrong category of them.
We want the media to bother us with celebrities,
But celebrities with their noble and benevolent deeds that contribute to society.
Getting rid of celebrities is not a goal, but a better diversity.
Free media may sound good news,
There is no doubt that freedom is a wonderful privilege
But it is nothing on its own.
We need not only free information,
He must be good and able to direct the masses to what really matters,
It is – as it was since the time of Plato –
Justice, truth and wisdom.
