Media Task 8
Media is a kind of tool which can be used to inform society. With the help of media, we can follow up new developments, facts or occasions. In my point of view, media is a kind of school and with this school; I learn everything about my country, society and outside world. It can affect my opinions and position in my society. I mean that with the help of news, I can come up with many ideas about political parties, facts or figures. For example, today we can watch or listen political speech of each political figure from TVs or radios. Afterwards, in elections, I remember these kinds of speeches, after I give my vote to each political party. In this situation, media become a kind of tool which can affect my future actions. When I take decisions in terms of economy and politics, media become very beneficial tool for me. For this reason, in the terms of media, I prefer to trace many type of media brands our international media because I know that they affect my opinions. I think that if I use different types of media brands, I can come up with more independent ideas and use them in a more beneficial way.

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.
