The Ups And Downs Of A Newspaper Kingdom
On the day traced back to 269 years ago, a newspaper has been popular with people all over the English-speaking regions because it has uncovered a lot of secrets of celebrities and politicians, helping people know these people’s real faces. News of the World, a newspaper founded in the UK on October 1, 1843, was one of the oldest newspapers. I became a great success in a short time. Everyone loved its various reports and the detailed description of the celebrities’ private lives. It made the masses’ hearts of curiosity fulfilled and stimulated their desire of peeping others’ covered lives. As a result, to boost the sales higher and higher, the newspaper officer went so far as phone-hacking and invasion of privacy. Its illegal behaviors had caused public outage especially after the reveal about a case of a murdered girl. Soon, the newspaper kingdom announced its failure declaration and ended it long history. When it comes to media freedom, I think it is hard to draw a clear boundary line between the responsibility of report and the invasion of privacy. Though the stories may satisfy the public’s thirst of knowledge, they may also invade others’ privacy. However, what important is that as receivers of media , we should judge the reality of reports rather than believe the words blindly. Therefore, there will be fewer and fewer persons to be hurt or manipulated by media.
