Media Task 9

  Today, we watch, read or listen different sort of media types. Sometimes, we prefer to look international media rather than our national media. Then, we can see many differences between them. In a most accurate way, objectivity and content of news are two ways which can differentiate our media from international one. In Turkish media, news are given in a more subjective way. First of all, I think that our national values are become more important rather than objectivity. Most newsmakers try to present more subjective news which can praise our national values. For example; succession of operations which related to PKK is more dominant new rather than new economic system. Producers assign more time or more space in TV news or newspapers for this kind of news. In this situation, we can’t say the same thing for international media. In my opinion, it is more objective than Turkish media. In this media, producers do not assign lot of time as did by their Turkish counterparts. Also, they do not try to present or protect their national values. In a more accurate way, I think that they do not consider their national values. Also, to increase objectivity, they focus on details and sometimes they rely on more accurate statistics.
