My Assumption About the News Media

My Assumptions About the News Media

I really like listening to the News especially on CNN.I listen to the CNN News at least three times a day, my problem that hinders me to listen to the CNN News every day is the fact that I’ve so many academic assignments that I have to complete in time. Otherwise, had it not have been for my academic assignments, I would love to listen to the CNN News every day and night at least twice a day, 14 times a weak.

However, I like reading about international affairs such as: The Iraqi War, Conflicts in the Middle –East, Politics in Africa through the BBC and other African newspapers such as: the Post Newspaper from Zambia and the Independent Newspaper from Zimbabwe, Africa.

When it comes to “News media” and their coverage of race or gender or sexualities or disabilities, I often assume that most of the media firms especially in the United States prefer to cover white people and their businesses, white celebrities, white politicians because of the flame of racism rooted among many media owners. The news media disappoints me in the sense that they do not cover the poor society yet they (the media firms) are supposed to speak out on behalf of the poor, oppressed, voiceless, and defenseless communities and individuals.

The media should be covering every body equally regardless of race, gender or nationality, we are all equal, no race is more superior than the other.
