SECIUNEA I ( 30 de puncte )
Read the text below and answer the questions by choosing one of the following
choices given:
The media, like any big business venture today is an extremely competitive
world of its own. In providing material for its public, it has constantly to make sure
it serves the right diet. No public will waste time on your paper or your TV channel
otherwise. The sad truth is that there seems only one way to catch an audience hit
them right between the eyes. What started as a mild tap has now become a
sledgehammer blow that goes by the name of sensationalism.
A reporter chooses has to choose a new story because of its sensation value.
The young inexperienced cub reporter rings his news editor about a car crash. He
starts to explain the details to him but the experienced editor asks the cub one
question:
Anyone killed? and to himself he thinks, why do we offer jobs
to children?
One may accuse newsmen of cynicism but they will quickly remind you of the
hard facts of survival in the world of the media. The favourite words of the newspaper
placards in the streets bombard the public with are: Surprise, Sensation,
Drama, Shock. You wonder, when the papers batter the public with dramas and
sensations day after day, that they havent put an end to sensation long ago. As a
regular newspaper reader, you also thank Heavens for the light relief of the comic
strips.
The newspapers of course, blame it all on television. Televisions changed
the whole concept of presenting the public with news, newspapermen and women
argue. We envy them their huge visual coverage. We just cant hope to compete
with them over that. They can actually show the public one man shooting another man
. And they remind you of Vietnam, and Oswald and Ruby at Dallas after the
Kennedy assassination
