Media, government and people should be a triangle of supervising

 




By: Nick Cao

In the main opinion of western people, government is made up by people, people will make mistake, then government also. Some people call media power as “the fourth power”, this shows that people think government should be supervised by media. But question is, media are also made up by people, then they will also make mistake. When they make mistake, who will supervise them? And the quotation mark of “the fourth power” shows us this is not a true right or power because it is not stable. It is very easy to be influenced, by tough power, by threaten, by money.

      So, in my opinion, the government should limit media market in a limited way and accept the supervision from people and media. And media also should accept supervision from people. Sometimes as an average person, it’s not easy for us to investigate the news media posted.

But with the development of Internet, self-media has raised. It provide a good way for people to express their opinion and a good way for us to learn something from a new angle.

      This is “Triangle theory”, in the following paragraph, I will show you how this theory or model works.

    I strongly agree with you that with the development of new media, the fourth power is at the root of the impact on the right to freedom of expression held by civilians, because when the fourth power is held by big capitalists. Then the voices of citizens expressing their personal opinions will be drowned out by the media wave of the big capitalists. That's why I support the idea that the fourth power must operate under the sun. It is to use the means of law to restrain the fourth power.

    Just like the separation of powers system in the United States, the government, the people and the media need to reach a balance with each other so that the media can not be used by a few elites. The prevalence of self-media has changed this situation to a certain extent. But will the excessive prevalence of self-media lead to information overload and excessive screening workload?——He YiPeng

Comment is free, but the facts are sacred

by Galkin Daniil There will never be a moment in time when people are not interested in the media, whether it be for news, entertainment or education. Naturally, this gives print, radio, TV and Internet journalism important functions, such as influencing public opinion, socialization, as well as setting the agenda and following the pillars of society and the state. Just as doctors take the Hippocratic Oath, so any journalist who calls himself a professional must return to this quote from the famous article "A Hundred Years" in the Manchester Guardian: “Comment is free, but the facts are sacred”. I believe that the state and the media should live parallel to each other, where the state reads and studies the media in order to fully understand the reaction of society to its activities and does not take control of the media in order to influence society with its propaganda and its values.  As a journalist, I understand why the state wants to control the media. After all, this is

Welcome to the silent ball

By Papiya Mondal  Well be a part of 21st century and thinking about a world without communication we can think about the old century when people didn't have language and and no way of communication. Ofcourse it was and it would be so hard  in a  daily life that we can explain  through a child. Without the ability for a child to communicate fully or to understand what is happening in their day, a child can feel completely out of control, lonely and helpless. This can lead to regression, aggression, frustration, and behavioural expression and the results is hitting, biting, pushing, etc. Communication basically means transferring information from one person or party to another. If we couldn't communicate at all, how would anything work How would you let someone know you were hungry or need a doctor or ask questions and teach children? When there is no communication people won’t able to share there perspective. They will have to anylise each and everything themselves. Without comm

Is silence really that golden?

 By Galkin Daniil Spoilers: It really isn't.  Multiple pieces of media touched upon the idea of isolation and loneliness, for example, the famous movie "I am Legend" starring Will Smith. Even there, the main hero can't comprehensevely continue his journey without a companion - a dog, which becomes his outlet for relaying his ideas, feelings and fears. Without communication, we as human beings become stagnant, we can't strive to achieve results. Humanity reached its peak due to ideas of multiple, not just one. For those reasons we have science fairs, internet discussions and, even, media - to relay our ideas, so that our crudely created existence can be polished and can become a much greater experience for future generations. A world without communication will wither, stop and simply become a shell of what it originally was. We've seen a lot of examples when words, no matter if they are carefully prepared or said on a whim, can inspire a future which is unpredi
