Please help me correct the essay.

With the development of modern technology, news media plays an indispensable role in almost every part of a person's people’s life. People are able to receive a wide range of news and information by various types of media. Some believe this development is beneficial whereas others disagree. Personally, I think its merits outweigh its drawbacks.

There is no denying that news media such as newspaper, radio and television provides people with opportunities to broaden their visions. People can know exactly what happened in other parts of the world, even though they may have never been there before. Therefore, people’s life experiences seem to be richer because of the wide range of information brought by news media. In addition, cooperation between different countries is likely to be enhanced, since news media facilitates the communication all over the world. For example, underdeveloped countries are able to learn advanced skills and experience from developed countries by the development of news media. That is to say, news media is an excellent way to propagate information and achieve common progress. Furthermore, news media is also an effective method to put government action under public scrutiny. Policies implemented by governments can be shown and discussed on news media, which helps citizens fulfill their rights of supervising government authorities.

However, news media sometimes has its adverse impacts. There is a lot of information on news media and many pieces of news are incorrect, since a large number of news reporters tend to attract more readers and audience instead of telling people the truth. For instance, they exaggerate the seriousness of social problems or disasters, which is likely to cause panic and damage social cohesion.

To conclude, the development of news media has more benefits than shortcomings. Consequently, it is encouraged to be promoted. At the same time, governments should institute relevant laws and regulations to ensure the accuracy of the news.
