The news is often described as the “window to the world,” but sometimes what we see in the news does not necessarily match the actual facts of what is happening in the world. Information is often very subjective, especially on television, and sometimes the best pictures are preferred to the best story. As journalists, we are responsible for society and the news often leads viewers to a narrow view of the world, often showing them what we want them to see rather than what they need to see. As Harcup (2009, P3) explains, “Journalism informs society about itself and makes public what would otherwise be private. » Information is extremely subjective, especially when it comes to determining the order in which a newsletter should be presented and which articles to choose. Information is often classified into one or more categories (Harcup, 2009, P43), based on what will be of interest to a particular audience. Each week during our news days we would discuss the order in which our stories would be presented and also how interesting the story would be to our viewer. Often, articles that are more accessible and have better images tend to appear higher in the newsletter. However, information that often affects more people will appear at the top of the news bulletins. Because the information is so subjective, it prevents the viewer from accessing this process of elimination. Often, stories that are more effective and interesting to the viewer are eliminated because finding the person or images can be difficult. This can give the viewer a very narrow view of the world because they only watch what we deem newsworthy, whereas if they had seen the news they might have argued for other stories to be made the news. Television is extremely laborious. intensive. As a viewer, they only see the anchors presenting the news and not the team behind them. As...... middle of paper ......e the newsletter and I also have plenty of time in the day to edit. Overall, over the past few months of working in simulated news days, I have learned the real factors behind what we see on our television screens. This is a very narrow view of the world, and often a mix of logistics and legislation prevents some information from even getting onto our televisions. I have found that sometimes the most interesting and valuable news stories are not selected in order to avoid things such as copycat behavior and also because a person is not available. Broadcast journalism relies heavily on images for our viewers to tell the story, and words are used only to enhance the story. Overall, I think our simulated news days truly reflected what it's like to work in a real-life broadcast environment, and the stress and pressures journalists go through to deliver the news to our screens..
