Some critics argue that newspapers should abandon the inverted pyramid news story structure. They say that television and radio deliver news much fast

In my opinion, I think that the newspapers shouldn’t abandon the inverted pyramid news story structure because I believe is a great way to persuade your reader into the story. Also the inverted pyramid structure is more accurate. I consider that the television and radio are not as accurate as the newspaper. Now a day the media is even focusing on things that are not that important like Britney Spears, while there are bigger things going on around us.

The critics should have in mind that not everybody can afford a television or a car radio, meanwhile they can go in a shop and get a newspaper for a few dollars but most of the times the newspapers are for free. Due to the technological advancements, people expect instant gratification when it comes to world events and in most cases the newspaper gives you a general overview of important information. Most Americans tune in to the 5 o’clock news because they receive information faster but I still think that the news are not as accurate. Also you need to have in mind that not everyone has time to sit and watch a television while you can read a newspaper anywhere.

I believe that the inverted pyramid is a very organized way of writing and getting the information to the reader as quick and accurate as possible. This structure makes it easy for the reader to skim through the news and grab the most important information without spending an entire hour sitting in front of a television.

The author says that "writing for the mass media is one of the most important jobs in our society."

In my opinion writing for the mass media is definitely a very important job in our society. Not a day goes by that we as a community are not influenced in some way by media, weather it is an advertisement or news. The America society is a society of consumers, and they are always interested in the newest and best products to outdo other consumers. We are exposed to well over 8,000 adds a day in magazines, on the internet, on TV, we even see them on cars. The people responsible for these advertisements spend so much time and money developing them in such a way that it reaches their target market quickly and effectively. Advertisers are just one of the many people responsible for the new age media frenzy.

In recent years blogging, and personal websites have become extremely popular. People enjoy the fact that it is not just the major corporations that have control over what we see, read, and hear about. More and more useful information are on these sites that are getting millions of hits a day. The media through globalization has become an endless library for floating information that is constantly at our fingertips. Because of this not only can we see what is happening in our country almost minutes after it happens, but we can also see what is happening around the world just as fast. The amount of information and technology that we have now makes it very easy for our culture to be influenced. For this reason writers for the media are faced with extreme pressure to properly convey their message.
