With the invention of modern technology, just about everyone and everything could be a source of news. The question is - is the news real or fake? Newspaper, television and internet are just some resources where we could be updated about the things that are happening around us. With these three in mind, what do you think is the best source of RELIABLE NEWS?
Poll result shows that 50% of the participants believe that television provides them reliable news, followed by the internet with 44%. And newspaper comes in last with only 6%. Why does TV comes in first and the printed media last?. Do you think the saying "To see is to believe." plays a role in this situation? People would like see videos that could be considered as "proof" that the news is real? Survey shows that the internet is even a close second with 44%. 18 voters ranging from ages 18 - 54 with 33% males and 67% females, could also be a factor. The participants are more exposed to the internet because it's accessible. They could easily check out the news with a push of a button on their mobile phones or tablets. If the participants are older, would the result shift a bit?
In this modern world that we live in, we are given an easier and quicker access to information and news. Everyone could be writer or a media practitioner. Let us be responsible. Be a reliable source of information. As readers, be more vigilant in discerning a real news from a fake one. Support the truth and stop the lies.
