分析新闻媒体两面性的英语作文

In the era of "everything can be media", new media is mainly embodied

in a "new" word. Therefore, new media can be understood as the carrier

of the change of media form caused by new technology, which affects

the way people obtain and disseminate information. Since the 21st

century, new media has become an irreplaceable new force to promote

social development. Especially in the context of the concerted efforts of

the people of the whole country to fight the COVID-19 this year,

information media have become a necessity for people's daily work and

life. Online classes, online meetings, online office work, online shopping,

and various APPs and new software are intensively appearing in social

life.

It is said that the media is a "double-edged sword". In the new media era,

the new media can carry or overturn the boat, and its information

dissemination has both positive and negative characteristics.

Correctly understand the positive role of new media

The new media created after the rise of the Internet has had a

revolutionary impact on people's lives. From the original relatively

simple communication, broadcasting and information sharing to the later

entertainment, leisure, shopping, social networking, and even gathering

public opinion, the Internet has penetrated into people's daily life.

The positive role of new media in public opinion is to enhance the

interaction of public opinion. People can use new media to express their

views and attitudes, or discuss and explore with information publishers,

which improves the timeliness of information. New media, with its

extremely fast information transmission speed, spreads information and

ideas to all parts of the world in the most intuitive, fastest, most effective

and most vivid way. For example, during the COVID-19 epidemic, wechat,

Weibo, Tiktok and other new media gradually surpassed traditional

media in their influence in reporting the epidemic due to their fast

transmission speed, wide information coverage and strong interactivity.

It was through wechat, Weibo and other new media that early insiders

took the lead in announcing the initial information of the epidemic and

became "whistleblowers" in the eyes of the public, It has promoted the

popularization of information transmission. The openness and equality

of new media decide that people are no longer just recipients of

information, but also can actively put forward ideas and release

information, which also makes information transmission more popular.

Dialectically view the negative impact of new media

The Internet and the new media composed of various social platforms

represented by microblog, WeChat and short video APP let netizens

speak freely in a virtual and anonymous space, and let all kinds of true

and false information and rumors spread freely.

The negative role of new media in public opinion is as follows: it

catalyzes the spread of false information. In the new media era, the

anonymity of the network weakens the credibility of the network public

opinion supervision, catalyzes the spread of false information, and leads

to the instability of public opinion. The openness and anonymity of the

new media greatly weaken its check function, resulting in the instability

of the new media in the supervision of public opinion. For example,

some netizens often release some extreme remarks with strong

subjective emotions through new media, and some fake news also

spread widely using the fast, massive and highly linked nature of new

media, forming an existing communication atmosphere.

In addition, as a new news phenomenon in recent years, "reverse news"

has appeared in people's vision, which has aroused extensive attention

from the media and the public. "Reverse news" refers to the

phenomenon that one or more significant changes or even reverse

changes occur in the report of the same event in the field of Internet

communication. The main feature is that it is not the event itself that

attracts the attention of public opinion, but the dramatic reversal that

makes people dumbfounded and the reversal of public attitudes. The

essence of the news reversal is that the news is untrue, and most of the

reversals are caused by human factors, some of which are even

deliberately untrue. For example, on October 28, 2018, the "Chongqing

Wanzhou Bus Falling into the River Accident", the speed of news reversal

is dizzying. "Reverse news" damages the image of the parties, challenges

the credibility of the media, infringes the public's right to know, and has

a great negative impact on the healthy development of news

communication. The reasons for the frequent occurrence of "reverse

news" are the lack of truth about the news facts, the lack of the role of

the "gatekeeper" of the media and the preconceived stereotypes when

reporting news events. Therefore, in terms of specific preventive

measures, it is also necessary to standardize the news gathering and

editing management process, strengthen the supervision of the network

environment, and correspondingly improve the public's new media

literacy.
