CAMBRIDGE IELTS 1 TEST 3
News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors
do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it he better if
more good news was reported?
It has often been said that “Good news is bad news” because it does not sell newspapers. A radio
station that once decided to present only good news soon found that it had gone out of business for
lack of listeners. Bad news on the other hand is so common that in order to cope with it, we often
simply ignore it. We have become immune to bad news and the newspapers and radio stations are
aware of this.
While newspapers and TV stations may aim to report world events accurately, be they natural or
human disasters, political events or the horrors of war, it is also true that their main objective is to
sell newspapers and attract listeners and viewers to their stations. For this reason TV and radio
stations attempt to reflect the flavour of their station by providing news broadcasts tailor-made to
suit their listeners’ preferences. Programmes specialising in pop music or TV soap operas focus
more on local news, home issues and up-to-date traffic reports. The more serious stations and
newspapers like to provide “so called” objective news reports with editorial comment aimed at
analysing the situation.
If it is true, then, that newspapers and TV stations are tailoring their news to their readers’ and
viewers’ requirements, how can they possibly be reporting real world events in an honest and
objective light? Many radio and TV stations do, in fact, report items of good news but they no
longer call this news. They refer to these as human interest stories and package them in
programmes specialising, for instance, in consumer affairs or local issues. Good news now comes
to us in the form of documentaries the fight against children’s cancer or AIDS, or the latest
developments in the fight to save the planet from environmental pollution.
