Critically evaluate the role of own beliefs,ideologies and worldviews in media reporting
Answers
Following is the evaluation:-
Explanation:
The role of own belief is such that when a person has his/her own set of beliefs and ideologies, that tends to construct his/her pattern of thinking, perception, way of life and his decision making process.
Apart from that, what the world perceives adds pressure and influence, which is commonly known as societal pressure.
When media reporting is done, one must be ethical in his/her dealings and be a non partisan and neutral person, however when influenced by worldview, i.e. popular view, the reporter may do bias reporting.
Thus the role of these are highly important. For example, if I don't like Muslims, then my reporting on Christ Church attack in New Zealand would be biased and i would call it a mass killing rather than an act of terrorism.
Answer:
All beliefs, ideologies and worldviews in media are some of the major components of any culture. Media reporting needs to be more objective and it should not be colored by the personal consensus of an individual. In any case, nowadays most news are colored by personal beliefs, value systems and ideologies which give a different taste to the story altogether.
