Th e n ew s on a TV stati on i s not j ust r ep ort in g th e up - t o-dat e event s that matter to people’s lives. It is also a money -making business where th e mon ey is in th e ratin gs the TV station gets. Th es e rat in gs show how man y p eop le ar e w atchin g th e new s th e sta ti on is br oadca stin g. Bas e d on th e nu mb er of th e vi ew er s, thes e rat in gs a llow th e st ati on t o s et pric es f or its adver ti s em en ts . The mor e vi ew ers th e stati on has, the gr ea t er th e pr of it.
In ord er t o get m or e p eop le w atchin g th e n ew s th ey r ep or t ed , new s rep ort ers tr y ever yth in g th ey can to s earch f or ey e-catchin g new s . So tod a y, it is qu it e c om m on t o s ee a TV rep ort er askin g h ear t less ques ti on s of th e f ami ly m emb ers of a victi m in a cr im e sc en e, such as , “D o you f eel sad t o s ee your br oth er dead ?” A skin g such a hea rt le ss ques ti on w hile p oint in g a mic r oph on e tow ard th e vict im ’s f ami l y m emb er, the rep ort er is hopin g t o captur e t he f ami ly m emb er ’s em ot i ona l breakd ow n.
That is exac t ly th e kind of new s that sells.
Several reasons can explain these reporters’ lack of empathy in askin g a hear t less qu es ti on. O ne is the inad equac y in j ourna list ic practic e. Bef or e b ec om in g a f ield r ep ort er, on e m ust r ec ei ve prof ess i ona l train in g in college and the int ernsh ip in the pres s. But , w ith mor e TV sta ti ons and n ew s ch annels s et up, m or e r ep ort ers are n ee d ed ; thus, the hirin g proc ess f or qualif i ed rep or t er s bec om es loos e. In additi on, j ourna lis m has s om eh ow bec om e a show busin ess, so n ew rep ort ers ar e hir ed m ost l y becaus e of th eir app ea ranc e, not th ei r prof ess i ona lism.
Another reason for the reporters’ la ck of empathy is that news ratin gs ha ve b ec om e m or e i mp or tant than ever. Th e m er e r ep or t of f acts ma y n ot brin g ab out hi gh e r ratin gs, so new s r ep or t ers w ould t r y diff eren t w a ys t o distu rb and even ann oy th e p er s on th ey in t er vi ew in ord er t o get his or h er em oti ona l r esp ons es. Th e cr yi n g a nd out - of - control episodes on TV can definitely capture viewers’ attention. Once th e rat in g is up, prof it c om es alon g. Th e ris e of ratin gs appar ent ly arouses the reporters’ bloodthirsty instinct for more controversial and vi olent n ew s.
Bein g a j ou rna list is n ot eas y. It r equi r es n ot on l y th e capab i li t y t o dea l w i th t im e pr essur e, but als o th e in t elli genc e t o ut i liz e pr op er ques ti ons t o revea l f acts f or the vi ew ers. H ow ever, w ith the over emphas is on rat in gs, the new s progra ms are tu rnin g th ems elves int o rea li t y sh ow s. Wh en the pow er t o super vis e th e govern m ent doesn’t lead to the life of greater good, news stations devalue th ems elves int o ent erta inm en t channels w ith bad tas t es.
