TV News: All the World in Pictures
According to research, it is of great importance that the media deals with facts, logic and analysis of objectives. The only group within the news media house that meets this idea is the newspaper and wire services. Unfortunately, with the Television, it has its own ways of presenting its news to the people and it is hard for it to present unbiased information and pictures because its main aim is to entertain and provide pleasure to the viewers. The research has realized that news presented on television at night in most cases is for entertainment purposes although they present it in away that leave the viewers informed yet in real-sense, the information is distorted. For instance, a television news presentation may provide information that its main points has been altered, but the viewers just accepts it because they have no say even if the distortion is clearly seen. This shows the vulnerability nature of individuals concerning wrong news, as they have no clue to know whether the information presented was the truth or a lie. In most cases, television is presented in both language and pictures. Thus, it is advisable that viewers find means by which they will be enabled to know more about language and pictures so that they can defend themselves from distorted information.
Pictures according to studies present some problems such as presenting the particularities of the earth’s infinite variety. Some people may view a picture and get satisfied because they are able to get enough information for a single picture, whereas, others just love getting information through the language since they believe that a word is worth many pictures. Generally, pictures have been found to be limited in its presentation, they do not provide a concept about the world, whereas the use of language is worthy because it gives full information that is well explained.
Language of pictures illustrates moving pictures, which favors so much change. This in most cases is illustrated by the frequent display of violence and extreme destructions on the television. This is because it is easy to change something that has been destroyed violently allowing the concept of fire into the scene. According to research, fire is used to portray the concept of consumption, disappearance and death thus this means that by appearance of fire, it shows the item was destroyed and taken away and this is why incidences to do with fire are shown on television news most of the time because thy are ever changing.
The content of the television news is in most cases fragmented as a way of saving time and the issues portrayed in the news are rarely discussed or explained in details. This is because during the news broadcast, the news tends to change from one story to another thus no time for a detailed explanation. There are some stories that are shown as news just because they have significant pictures within them, but there is nothing good they are showing. The journalists have the tendency to concentrate mostly on the surface of a situation instead of digging deep into the story so that they could provide a powerful and presentable broadcast on the television.
In conclusion, news presented on the television illustrates the world as a sequence of unrelated and distracted moments. It is hard for a television to bring out the desired and meaning news to the people and to the world in general. Therefore, it is the responsibility of those watching to find better means by which they could be getting information from, they should develop opinions and a sense of proportion so that they can have a detailed information on what is happening around and all over the world not only in language pictures but in words and in detail.
