    In this day and age, the expanding influence of news media on the society has been a heated social issue in debate. Some believe this trend is negative because the media controls minds of the public. personally, I partially agree with this view, and my reasons will be explored as below.

    One of the most concerning aspects of news media is its overwhelming presence in people's daily lives. The 24-hour nonstop news cycles on TV, radio, and the internet have made our lives news-centric. The incessant stream of information bombards individuals with both essential and superfluous news, leaving them constantly engrossed in interpreting news, opinions, gossip, and rumors. Whether at workplaces, schools, buses, or homes, people find it challenging to escape the grasp of news media, resulting in information overload. Consequently, this constant distraction exhausts individuals and hampers their ability to concentrate on their tasks or spend quality time with their families. Another significant concern regarding news media is its potential to manipulate people's thoughts and opinions. Psychologically, exposure to news media can be akin to a process of brainwashing, as it tends to replace individual judgments with media-established ideas. For instance, in the realm of politics, influential newspapers, TV programs, and online websites may reveal personal foibles and even fabricate false rumors or scandals to tarnish the image of political candidates during elections. Such practices undermine social equity and democracy by depriving voters of the ability to think independently and freely.

    However, it would be remiss to overlook the positive impact of news media on our lives. Indeed, exposure to news and reports can provide valuable information and guidance for daily living. For example, regional newspapers or radio channels often offer forecasts of weather and traffic conditions during rush hours, enabling local residents to plan their travel schedules and routes efficiently. Moreover, reporting on pressing social issues such as epidemics, natural disasters, violence, and crime fosters public awareness regarding the need to improve education, healthcare systems, and environmental conservation efforts.

    In conclusion, the demerits caused by news media override its benefits for the public. Although it can provide useful and practical information to the audience, it influences people in more negative ways, including an unbalanced life due to addiction in news, as well as the misunderstanding about social issues.
