ich sollte ein Comment dazu schreiben, ob Medien ihr ganzes Wissen preisgeben sollten.
Ich wäre für jede Korrekturhilfe dankbar
Hier mein Versuch
Media, they are everywhere. Television, the Internet and newspapers, everywhere. And everyone will be affected by them. They give us the latest information and help us to form our opinion. Also newspapers have a big responsibility and it raises the question whether they should disclose all their knowledge to the public. We experience the affection of our foreign minister to men, the marital problems of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and angsteinjagende reports on murderers, rapists and kidnappers. Is it really necessary for society to learn all these things?
I think the newspaper should focus on significant and material things and bringing precise as possible to the point. The first morning reading should obviously serve to get information. The problem today is ,I believe, in sensationalism. This results in reports, which are full of exaggerations and scare the population to some extent. The first massacre at a school in Leipzig emblazoned all front pages. The topic was on everyone's lips, completely new and shocking for us. This was followed in short intervals attacks on other schools in Ludwigshafen and Winnenden. This raises for me the question whether these students are not the first offender took as a model and just get a big media hype and the resulting attention. Their act was introduced into the history. Of course this is with the help of "BILD" & co simple, because after ten minutes everyone from Bavaria to Ostfriesland will know about the incident. The question is whether these examples are included as a deterrent to potential offenders and the awakening of moral concerns or serve as an incentive to just generate a media hype. Then should media hype lead to such acts is this kind of report questionable.
Finally, I would consider the Situatuon of newspapers as difficult. On the one hand they want to sell as many editions and many are interested in rather ornate sensational story than for surveys of the policy. But on the other hand, the excessive flood of information is not acceptable in some areas for me, but anxious or insecure people. Maybe it is the fault of the society, who is swayed by media too much.
