With globalization, news is now our companion 24X7. We need to switch on the television or log on to the internet or simply take up the daily newspaper - each of these provides us with the latest news. What kind of news can we expect the options on our platter are innumerable, ranging from entertainment news to sports and politics to fitness news? Each category is dealt with in minute detail by journalists - whether in print or media. We just need to sit back and relax and look at what is happening in each nook and corner of the world. No longer can events be kept under wraps. Journalists have their eyes everywhere.
Current affair is one of the hottest categories that occupy the top slot in news. People are always curious and interested about what is going on around the world. News channels fulfill this demand by catering to us the latest news throughout the day, 365 days a year.
The media shapes public opinion. So whether it is defaming someone or heaping praises on him, it plays a crucial role in modifying the mass mentality. Often we start believing what is not entirely true. We tend to take things for granted when a news channel broadcasts a piece of news.
With the huge number of news channels jostling for the top spot, we sometimes get confused as to which one to watch. Sometimes some news channels are influenced by some political parties to give out their dictated version of the story. But giving in to such lucrative offers is certainly condemnable. We, as the viewers cannot help but watch what we are being shown. Often we do not exercise our discretion to decide what is right and what is wrong.
Two of the segments that gain the most number of viewers or readers are Entertainment News and fitness news. With the massive following that film-stars have, it is no wonder that their devoted fans wish to read or know about their doings, parties, affairs etc. All of us want to know the latest news. Though interests may differ from person to person - some like entertainment news, some fitness news, some sports or politics - it is news that keeps us engaged. We always go along with the sway of the news. News is a must for us every day.
