Some people think the media should stop reporting details of crimes to the public. What is your opinion?Telling the truth to the public is the media’s responsibility. However, whether illustrate the details of crimes to people, especially to young children, need to have a debate. Considering the adverse effect to socity, in my view, it is better that do not describe too much details of crimes to the public.
Several reasons can support this view. Firstly, crime details that showed to people, no matter by newspapers or by TV, may cause a negative impression in people’s mind, in terms of children. Moreover, people who receive the violence images frequently are likely to become aggressive. In other words, reporting details may lead people to committee another crime. Last but not least, the victims will get much more psychological hurt if the processes of crimes are reported over and over again. It is unfair to the victims that, Media, who just wants to meet public’s curiosity, to report such details.
Nevertheless, why many media tend to report the details due to such negative affects? The main reason is for the circulation and ratings. Media very clear that what public’s need about the news of crimes, which is not only the facts of crimes, but also the processes and details. Therefore, some media frequently headlight the crimes in order to gain more profits, regardless of causing adverse social effects or hurting someone else,
Overall, some measures should be taken by government to curb the proliferation of reporting the crime details. Without suggesting that deprive public of their rights to know the truth, but reduce the over publicity given to the dark side of society.作者: yrqin 时间: 14-11-2011 11:55
