Does news have to be presented in a formal way? Is that a must? Or are there any other ways which can be done aswell?
In the reading we had this week, one of the ideas were presenting the news in an informal way which might interest some people who wouldn’t try to understand or care it if presenting way hadn’t been in that way. Everyone’s education level can’t be same and assuming the fact that it is, won’t get us far. What I try to say is people have to meet in a common place, like not a hard language or a very easy one. By doing that they can take attentions of more and more people which will lead to having more people having ideas about what is happening around them.
Moreover, giving the news in a funny way won’t hurt anyone but in my opinion increase the viewer number in a huge way because it won’t be a place where people will afraid to see what other bad things happened around them that day after a hard work day. You can’t give out all the news in that way but some can be done.

You make a very valid point. But surely the way it is presented affects people’s understanding. I mean when something is presented to these people who you say don’t have a very high education level then what happens when they just understand it in the way it is presented- i.e. when something is biased- either for or against the government, or within the topic of the text tabloidization- so let’s say all that is mentioned about a politician is their personal beliefs, or their successful private lives and not their policies- so these people only see that and don’t think beyond that. Yes they may have an idea of who the politicians are but when they don’t know what the policies are and how to understand them then does it really matter? Thanks!
