There is a ton of debate in the news media. More specifically, regarding the
passages, the writer puts forth the idea that the growing trend of online news has harmful effects on society. In the listening passage, the lecturer quickly points out that there are significant flaws in each of the claims made by the writer. In fact, the professor believes that its advantages outweigh its negative results and addresses, in detail, the trouble with each point made in the reading text.
First and foremost, the reading passage claims that many people get their news online through social media, which can be harmful since users can post whatever they want without checking the facts. Also, there is a high chance that they can present incorrect information as factual, or confusing. However, the professor states that social media can be a good news feed, such as about disasters. He reasons that social media delivers information quickly, making it effective in these types of situations.
Second, the reading passage mentions that official news sites are also detrimental because they have many advertisements. As an illustration, native advertising disguises itself as official content, decreasing readers' critical thinking skills. Nevertheless, the professor contends that print media is equally harmful. Affluent people who own newspapers would want to protect their political and financial interests, so they may not publish information that harms those interests; thus, newspapers are also deceptive.
The author wraps his argument by positing that online news reduces readers' attention spans. As a result, journalists have to write simpler, shorter articles, affecting the quality of future publications. The professor is reminded of how the media's future must adapt to meet the needs of modern readers. Although readers may not be able to focus on traditional articles, journalists can make the content more engaging using formats like videos or interactive websites. Hence, future news will be distinctive but not necessarily worse.
To sum up, both the writer and professor hold conflicting views about digital and print media. It is clear that they will have trouble finding common ground on this issue.
