Do the information media have social responsibility?

This is a hard one when it comes to social Responsibility. For Journalists they go buy this

Lule, J. (2012 )“to provide citizens with accurate and reliable information they need to function

in a free society” (page 995, Para 1). When thinking about that what do we see when it comes to

reporting on TV, internet, and the news? Form what I see some of them do, they want us to know

what’s really going on with facts. As other will like to put faults accusation out and make the

information up so it sounds good. The problem is we buy into this information and most of us

can’t get enough of it. So I am going to have to say that I am in the middle on this topic.

As we look social responsibility; the act of responsibility to public, and what will benefit

society. In are information media we have are news on TV, Internet, and newspaper or

magazines. Most of the time they will portray what’s happen in the world around us. Then you

have information that can help us to better are self’s. Media is supposed to have responsibility ,

but some of the program and information my not portray that, we have programs that like to

make up story’s so it can mislead us into thinking that what is happen with this person or group

of people. I news can have best intentions but most of the time it can be bias. We just need to

have an open mind to the information we are getting and not always believe the first thing we

here.
