The Press Becomes the Press Sphere: Review

“The Press Becomes the Press Sphere” by Jeff Jarvis is a blog article about how press controls. He provides the “Press Sphere” to explain how “press stands in a different relationship to the world around it” (Jarvis), and how it appears differently to an individual. There are a lot of different types of news sources that can affect us in our lives such as what Jarvis lists: peers, media, witness, press, government, companies, and so on. I am not sure if Jarvis is pleased with how theses sources affecting people, because he seems like he thinks these new changes has caused people to not acknowledge the facts but accepting the facts that are distorted by the press. All of a sudden readers get more power than writer who are trying to deliver the news. I think the fact that readers can choose what news they want to read makes writers anxious, and force them to exaggerate the information for the readers. I sometimes find that when I read news articles on some Korean websites. They uses very suggestive titles to catch people’s eyes, but when I read them, they only writes unnecessary information that is only focuses on the sake of arousing interest rather than trying to convey some trustful facts. I really bothers me that how much the press is in control of our news nowadays. Many people do not care what the facts are anymore they are only interested in what attracts them the most. To fix this problem, reporters, journalists or whoever writes news articles should focus on informing what they discovered rather than trying please the audience or caught up in the press.
