雅思大作文新聞媒體類話題范文--新聞媒體的好壞

News media have become influential to our lives, and some people think that is a negative development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

新聞媒體對我們的生活產(chǎn)生影響，有人認(rèn)為這是一種消極的發(fā)展。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?

思路解析：

1. 負面影響：以新聞為主的生活方式會讓人們筋疲力盡。舉例，報紙和電視吸取了人們所有的關(guān)注，這讓人們無法關(guān)注自己的事情，也缺乏時間來維持家庭關(guān)系。

2. 負面影響：負面新聞會引發(fā)社會不安。舉例，很多謠言，關(guān)于社會傳染病，或是很多逃犯的信息，會讓人們生活在恐懼中。

3. 負面影響：媒體是洗腦工具。舉例，處于政治目的，很多新聞媒體會對某些進行毫無根據(jù)的攻擊和抹黑。這會誤導(dǎo)投票人的判斷和立場。

4. 正面影響：新聞媒體能提供有用的信息，建議和指導(dǎo)。舉例，天氣預(yù)報和交通堵塞的信息能幫助人們制定合適的出行計劃和路線。

參考范文：

Nowadays, the expanding influence of news media on the society has been a heated social issue in debate. Some believe this trend is negative because the media controls minds of the public. Personally, I partially agree with this view, and my reasons will be explored as below.

The most worrying aspect of new media is that it overwhelms people’s daily lives. Actually, our lives of today are news-oriented, because of the 24-hour nonstop news cycles on TV, radio and Internet. Under such news bombardment, the information overload takes place, which means people’s attentions and minds have to be glued to focusing on and interpreting endless news, comments, gossips and rumors, necessary and unnecessary, no matter where they are, in workplaces, schools, buses or homes. As a result, news media is a huge distraction, which makes people exhausted and reduces their concentration and energy on their tasks or families.

Another big concern of news media is about its roles in manipulating people’s thoughts. Psychologically speaking, watching news media is a strong process of washing brain, in which the personal judgments of individual viewers might be removed and replaced with the media-established ideas. For example, for the purpose of politics, many influential newspapers, TV programs and online websites disclose the foibles of privacy, and even deliberately fabricate false rumors, scandals to diminish some political candidates in an election. Obviously, the cheatings and lies on news media are detrimental to the social equity and democracy, because they keep voters from thinking freely and independently.

However, the positive impact news media bring to our lives can never be ignored. In fact, the exposure to these news and reports can give the audience valuable messages and suggestions in day-to-day life. For example, the information about forecasts of weather and traffic situations in rush hours on regional newspapers or radio channels can instruct local residents to make proper schedules, plans and routers for travelling outside. In addition, reports about pressing social problems like epidemics, natural disasters, violence and crimes in streets also help to arouse the public’s awareness of the importance of improving education and health care systems, as well as the necessity of saving environment.

In conclusion, the demerits caused by news media override its benefits for the public. Although it can provide useful and practical information to the audience, it influences people in more negative ways, including an unbalanced life due to addiction in news, as well as the misunderstanding about social issues.
