Extract

Any forms of news are shaped to make the viewer or reader have the same beliefs and values as the person who made it. This makes all sources of news selected representations because they are trying to make you feel the same way about an event as them. To gain a full appreciation of a news issue, it is necessary to view a wide range of sources so that you would get a better understanding on the issue. The reason why it is like this is because each news source represents the issue in a certain way so they can position you to think the way they want you to.
