I. Introductory Concept
Media has evolved through the years making people’s life easier. One of the
most effective use of media is on communication. Media plays significant role in
sharing information across the globe. Media keeps people aware and updated on
important events and happenings. But in the other hand, media also has advantages
and disadvantages
Different forms and types of media can be found everywhere, as a result we
can easily access information with just one click, but using social media has its
downside. Media can affect a person in a negative way. People’s opinion and thoughts
can be limited in medias. Although you can share our thoughts freely, you can still
experience judgements and harsh comments in your opinion. A person can
experience cyberbullying. Another downside in media is that sometimes it provides
fake and unreliable information.
Must be Curious
Those who release information into the public from any platform should have a
natural curiosity. Being a curious creator, be a truth seeker. Ask tough and
important questions. Gather more information. Be detail oriented.
General Knowledge
Having a general knowledge of different topics permits one to be more confident in
whatever he or she is releasing to the public. They know that the information is
correct and prepares them for any dispute that could arise.
The Ability to Write
The ability to write has to do more with the success of information distribution. Any
faults in writing may cause your potential reader to lose interest and move to another
article. The ability to hold your reader’s attention is very important if you want to get
your point across and this is where writing skills play a part.
Professionalism and Should Have Ethics
Professionalism covers many grounds, it includes objectivity and ethics. Being a
professional means, you are doing what is expected of you, in this case as a provider
of correct information. This can only be achieved by maintaining objectivity which is
easier said than done since we are all prone to taking a side. This is why we need a
firm grip on our values when it comes to information dissemination. A producer of
information would have to stop and ask himself what kind of person he is and act
upon it. This is where ethics play a large part in whether what is released to the
public is the truth, half-truths or lies.
Objective
Information today comes from everywhere; it is driven by advertising which could
blur the truth in many cases. It is up to the users or receivers of information to arm
themselves with the knowledge to verify what is out there
