Essay: Should news be more objective than subjective? What is the main function of a newspaper? Hello guys, it would be very nice if someone can correct this essay. I'd like to practice writing in a good expression. Newspapers are for the most people the only source to get to know what happens in the world. But we are all aware of the fact that news are not fully objective. Is this a problem? First, for evaluating whether in news should be completely objective or if sometime also the opinion of the author should be included, it is important to clarify what the function of a newspaper is. As already written, the aim of the consumer is to inform himself about the current situation in the world. To guarantee this, it is necessary to give the information in an objective way because otherwise it would be influencing. Second, to write a profound and well researched article it is essentially to rate a certain circumstance. Thus the reader is not only informed about the rough facts but also about the consequences and the causes. Due to this, for the author it is really difficult to be non-objective. Additionally, for the consumer is it often interesting to see different perspectives of one topic. Therefore having newspapers with articles caused by the subjective views of the authors can be helpful. Surely, such an article should as well include reliable and true information. In conclusion, the aim of a newspaper should be at every time to inform the reader with true and objective facts. But to give a deeper view into a situation and show different perspectives, it is often also practical to argue with objective information in a subjective way.

Newspapers are, for the most people, the only source to get to know what happens in the world. But we are all aware of the fact that news is not fully objective. Is this a problem?

First, for evaluating whether in news should be completely objective or if sometimes, also the opinion of the author should also be included, it is important to clarify what the function of a newspaper is. As already written, the aim of the consumer {better: reader} is to inform himself about the current situation in the world. To guarantee ensure [2] this, it is necessary to give the information in an objective way because otherwise, it would be influencing.

Second, to write a profound and well researched article it is essentially to rate a certain circumstance. Thus the reader is not only informed about the rough facts but also about the consequences and the causes. Due to {Better: Because of} this, it is really difficult for the author [3] to be non-objective.

Additionally, is it is often interesting for the consumer [3] to see different perspectives of one on a topic.

Newspapers are for the most people the only source to get to know what happens in the world. But we are all aware of the fact that news is are not fully objective. Is this a problem?

Firstly (not wrong, just sounds better like this), for evaluating whether in news should be completely objective or if sometimes also the opinion of the author should also be included, it is important to clarify what the function of a newspaper is. As already written, the aim of the consumer is to inform himself themself about the current situation in the world. To guarantee this, it is necessary to give the information in an objective way because otherwise it would be influencing.

Secondly, to write a profound and well researched article it is essentially to rate a certain circumstance. Thus the reader is not only informed about the rough facts but also about the consequences and the causes. Due to this, for the author it is really very (sounds better in an essay) difficult for the author to be non- (double negative) objective.

Additionally, for the consumer is it often interesting to see different perspectives of on one topic. Therefore, having newspapers with articles caused by written with the subjective views of the authors can be helpful. Surely, such an article should as well also include reliable and true information.

In conclusion, the aim of a newspaper should be at every all times to inform the reader with true and objective facts. But to give a deeper view into a situation and show different perspectives, it is often also practical to argue with objective information in a subjective way.
