交26日作业啦,大家多多赐教哈。:lol
(09.02.21 NA) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Newspapers and magazines are the best ways to learn about a foreign country?
As with the rapid development of information technology, people may find themselves surrounded by enormous trends of various information, newspapers, magazines and other published media, especially the Internet. Therefore, man in this information age has greater access to outer world than ever before, leading to a hot debate whether newspapers and magazines, all paper works, are the best kind of transformer to let one country’s folks learn about another country. Some tend to agree with this opinion, for paper media have long been the main format of information delivery. But many young people do hold different views, addressing that nowadays the Internet conquer the mass media world by its incomparable advances in fast sharing and easy accessible. When it comes to me, I have the same opinion with the latter one.
Several reasons can explain my opinion. First and foremost, newspapers and magazines are time-delayed for they need to be published after printed and distributed. For example, suggest a strike happened in industry park in Japan, then China presented journalists who located in Osaka took a journey to there for about 2 hours, finished interviewing and writing the report in 3 hours, send it to Shanghai office, and the editors went with the following process like editing or rewriting some sentences, finally the report would be sent to printing factory and come out in the next day’s newspaper, all of which takes at least 24 hours when readers. Controversially, if it is done by a Internet company, journalists went to the scene in 2 hours, wrote the report within3 hours then put it on the Internet, and readers would be able to see it. All these process were finished in less than 6 hours, almost 18 hours shorter than the tradition media types.
Secondly, Internet means a more reachable platform to discuss an issue from diverse aspects, which newspapers or magazines cannot give their readers. It is free to be speak out one’s view when other don’t get his personal information, never need to mind whether this words will bring some awesome outcomes.
Forums and a great many same-time communities become more and more popular these days, which make it possible that people could talk about the latest problems or unsatisfactory of the authority together, and consequently may contribute to real democracy. Nevertheless, the foreigners can get the authentic knowledge from these kinds of forums to have deep known about this country. Taking youtube and twitter for examples, people all over the world share their own daily life and news on them, to make themselves connected with the outside world.
What’s more, newspapers or magazines definitely contrast to the low carbon concept, which means they are not as environmentally friendly as E-media. All these published products made from wood, leading to trees being cut-down and desert coming out. As a result, all paper used media should be less for the sake of the world-wide low carbon life style.
In conclusion, it is an unshakable fact that tradition methods of media, like newspapers or magazines, are no longer the best way to let people in different countries get informed of what happen in other countries when compared to the speed advanced and resources saving Internet in information delivery. |
