News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in
newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we
become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was reported?

Model Answer
It has often been said that "Good news is bad news" because it does not sell
newspapers. A radio station that once decided to PRESENT ONLY GOOD NEWS (chỉ
trình bày mỗi tin tốt) soon found that it HAD GONE OUT OF BUSINESS (đã phá sản)
for lack of listeners. Bad news, on the other hand, is so common that in order to COPE
WITH (đương đầu với) it, we often simply IGNORE (lờ đi) it. We have become
IMMUNE TO BAD NEWS (miễn nhiễm khỏi tin xấu) and the newspapers and radio
stations are aware of this.
While newspapers and TV stations may aim to REPORT WORLD EVENTS
ACCURATELY (tường thuật chính xác các sự kiện thế giới), be they natural or
human disasters, political events or the horrors of war, it is also true that their main
objective is to sell newspapers and ATTRACT LISTENERS AND VIEWERS TO THEIR
STATIONS (thu hút người nghe và người xem đài của họ). For this reason, TV and
radio stations ATTEMPT TO REFLECT THE FLAVOUR OF THEIR STATION (cố gắng
phản ánh nét riêng của đài) by providing news broadcasts TAILOR-MADE TO SUIT
THEIR LISTENERS' PREFERENCES (thích hợp sở thích người nghe). Program
SPECIALISING IN (chuyên về) pop music or TV soap operas FOCUS MORE ON
LOCAL NEWS HOME ISSUES AND UP-TO-DATE TRAFFIC REPORTS (tập trung
vào tin tức địa phương, vấn đề gia đình và báo cáo giao thông cập nhật). The
more serious stations and newspapers like to provide "SO-CALLED" (cái gọi
là) objective news reports with the EDITORIAL COMMENT (nhận xét của chủ bút)
AIMED AT ANALYSING THE SITUATION (nhằm phân tích tình huống).
If it is true, then, that newspapers and TV stations are TAILORING THEIR NEWS TO
THEIR READERS' AND VIEWERS' REQUIREMENTS (điều chỉnh tin tức nhằm đáp
ứng yêu cầu của độc giả và người xem) how can they possibly be reporting real
world events IN AN HONEST AND OBJECTIVE LIGHT (trên phương diện trung
thực và khách quan)? Many radio and TV stations do; in fact, report items of good
news but they no longer call this news. They refer to these as human interest stories
and PACKAGE (gộp) them in the program specialising, for instance, in CONSUMER
AFFAIRS (giao dịch khách hàng) or local issues. Good news now comes to us in the
form of DOCUMENTARIES (phim tài liệu) the fight against children cancer or AIDS, or
THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS (những diễn biến mới nhất) in the fight to save the
planet from ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (ô nhiễm môi trường).
