As knowledge is accumulated by multiplying and at the same time become more and more specialized, newspapers play a paramount role in our daily life, for they can provide us with diverse information almost all-sided, ranging from the rent ads to the latest trading conflicts among international communities. However, "whether people should believe everything you read in the newspaper" arouses a fierce discussion in the recent investigation from Tsinghua University. For me, I am convinced that it is irrational to believe everything newspapers said.
Firstly, no newspaper can avoid being influence by bias. To some extend, all newspapers have their interests to serve. For example, some political newspapers specially serve for government: they approve of the way government deals with, overlook the harmful measures government take, and advocate the civilians to vote for the party they support. As such, how could you believe in everything you read? The most efficient and effective key proves that you'd better collect thorough information on particular issue with your own judgement and reason. Only in that way you may eliminate prejudices.
Secondly, the resources from which newspapers collect their information are comparatively narrow. Witnesses, policeman, victims cover the majority part of their origins, to make matter worse, few newspapers are responsible enough to interview all the men involved. My teacher, a journalist in Hunan Daily, told me that time was limited for reports. Whatever some accident happened, they have to hand in their reports before 5 p.m. in order to make sure that they keep the news refreshing. Inevitably, how can they interview all the people who were involved in this incident?
Finally, to err is newspaper. Since the journalists are all human, they may understate or overestimate the truth unconsciously. They just use their logic and judgement sometimes with a little imaginary, which probably results in misleading readers, to retell the whole process. The illustrations are numerous. A recent case concerned that the Tibet issue in China, which was original violence acting by terrorists, however, was reported as policemen attacked civilians by some western newspapers. Now you may understand that it is maybe not the fault of newspaper itself, rather, is the fault of human nature.
To wind up, although most materials newspaper revealed are close to the truth, it is illogical to believe all that we read in newspapers. A saying may well illustrate my view, "God gave you a brain, and you have to use it."
