“Authorized Knowers: News Sources, Their Selection And Their Impact On The News” In today’s society, it is almost impossible to not know what is going on around the country without getting information from some form of media. Whether it is television, radio, or newspapers, the images and words that the media gives us form the basis of how we understand events occurring throughout the world. Without question, bias occurs in the media although it is viewed as the unbalanced or exaggerated reporting of events or ideals, which may reflect the beliefs of those in the media and not the population as a whole. Media has become too independent and too powerful for the public good. “The press is protected, not for its own sake but to enable a free political system to operate. In the end, the concern is not for the reporter or the editor but for the citizen-critic of government.” Every media outlet has an angle or bias, even if they are reluctant to admit it. There are many aspects and pressures to writing the news. Pressures are put on reporters for them to decide what goes in the news and what gets left out.
