雅思大作文范文：
The nickname of the "Uncrowned King" given tothe modern journalist is by no means anexaggeration. In almost every modern society,newspapers have been playing an essential role inshaping people’s thoughts on a wide range of issues and are always regarded as anindispensable source of information. In my opinion, this complex phenomenon can be boileddown to several key factors, and both its positive and negative aspects need to be analyzedthoroughly.
To begin with, human curiosity is an underlying factor in the growing popularity ofnewspapers. As the only species on the planet equipped with extraordinary intelligence,humans are inveterately curious about the latest events around the globe. Therefore, all kindsof newspapers prosper in such an age that is gushing with information, appealing to people'sincreasingly strong desire to know more about this constantly changing world. It is littlewonder that numerous readers are lured into heavier reliance on those well-established andinternationally renowned newspapers.
To a large extent, this situation is a desirable one with its many positive aspects. First ofall, in order to maintain their good reputation, most newspapers and magazines report actualevents in a detailed way, providing not only factual information but also deep insights intocomplex social and political issues. In addition, circulated on a daily basis and across anextensive demographic region, major newspapers have smoothly operated branches,seasoned correspondents and a highly efficient system to collect local news with the swiftestactions. Most importantly, their coverage and insightful comments can encourage youngreaders to form their own opinions on current affairs.
On the other hand, people should be fully aware of the downside of the journalisticdominance. More often than not, newspapers of national importance are largely controlled bythe government and act as the organ of the authorities. By furnishing citizens with prejudicedand self-opinionated reports on sensitive issues, such as foreign affairs and national security,these newspapers can manipulate their perspectives and attitudes and exercise a sort ofmonopoly on their way of thinking. On a less serious level, flooding the pages with trivialpieces of entertainment news and celebrity secrets is the usual way to divert the public’sattention away from government scandals and to eclipse such social and economic ills asunemployment, crime and judicial incompetence.
In conclusion, although the positive functions of modern journalism are to be sufficientlyrecognized, people must not slacken their vigilance against the possible abuse of such atremendous power that newspapers possess. In other words, while absorbing bits ofinformation in the newspapers, readers are advised to adopt an objective approach and casta discriminating eye on their way of presentation, comments and implicit assumptions.
