Topic：Some people argue that the media should not report details of crimes to the public. What is your opinion?
In contemporary society, we are surrounded by varieties of media like Internet, newspaper and TV program, which are current and informative, connecting us to the worldwide area. In the meanwhile, the medias also spark much debate because of negative influences. For instance, the news about criminal acts which are reported in graphic details, misleading people to commit crimes.
As I see it, the news outlets should pay more attention to the affairs themselves rather than the details of the crimes. To start with, the details of crimes make a misleading statement to the children and adolescents who are curious about the process of commit crimes, are likely to copy the criminal actions blindly. Moreover, the excessive violent and pornographic contents can also raise the adults’ criminal rates. In the other words, detailed crime news can generate individuals’ potential desire to commit a crime, thus induce many social problems. Last but not least, the detailed report of a crime does not show enough respects to the victims and their family.
Even so, the reports with criminal details maybe bring a well-looking audience rating, because of the individuals’ curiosity. However, the press should play a key role as the justicial direction of public opinion. Regarding of responsibility, the code of ethics is the basis of the whole press, including journalism and electronic media.
Overall, i think the media have obligation to show a right direction for the public. It should report news objective and balance, rather than highlight the details of the crime.
