It is possible to review several perspectives while getting acquainted with particular news. However, it should be noted that, in general, media still requires more accuracy and contains a great number of biases. Therefore, the contribution of changes in media may not be regarded as considerable.
First of all, modern types of media use a method of ‘click-baiting’ constantly. In pursuit of a significant number of readers, publishers use provocative headings, targeting the curiosity of protentional viewers. Frequently, sensational headings do not match the reality and the text of the article at all, as journalists tend to dramatize the importance of events. Secondly, these days, news published in Internet sources is considered to be the most reliable. However, Internet users frequently encounter ‘fake news, which is released in considerable amounts. Fake mews implies fabricated information, which is intended to mislead the readers and attract their attention for gaining profit. They are intended to prevent individuals from being able to search for the truth. Such publishers target the gullibility of Internet users, and the effect of this method is evident.
