In order to well-informed, a person must get information from many different news sources.
People are living in the era of information explosion when various news media prevail. Despite the fact that sometimes they feel overwhelmed by different news sources, getting information from them is the most effective way to be well-informed.
Few would deny that people are easily caught in the dilemma where they have great trouble distinguishing truth from fake news. It is not uncommon that some newspapers exaggerate a certain side of the news, and sometimes even distort the truth. To make matters worse, some news sources, especially entertaining ones, use a catching headline that focuses on the minor but recreational part of the news or even has nothing to do with the content. In this case, people have to look for authentic news to determine the truth. The more inundated they become with news resources, the more essential it is to hone critical thinking skills to evaluate them. If people set considerable store by getting information from many different news sources, they are less likely to fall for fake news. That’s the first step to become well-informed.
In addition, it reduces the chance to look at a phenomenon from a biased perspective. It is no exaggeration to say that almost every piece of news cannot be expressed in an objective tone. Unconsciously, people who read such news are misled to perceive events in the wrong way. For example, well-informed people will say that Adolf Hitler, one of the guiltiest persons in World War II, is also a talented speech maker and a gifted battle commander. By contrast, those who simply read history books can only have a superficial understanding of his tyranny, let alone his merits. By searching information of an event from multiple news sources, people will be able to look at a big phenomenon with balanced perceptions and therefore enable themselves to speak objectively.
In conclusion, it is indeed a hard thing to be well-informed. But if we can gather and integrate information from many different news sources, it will be only a matter of time before people conquer this tricky job.

Since fake news prevents people from becoming well-informed, they have to look for authentic news to determine the truth. Therefore, the more inundated people become with news sources, the more essential it is to hone critical thinking skills to evaluate these sources. If people set considerable store by getting information from many different news sources, they are less likely to fall for fake news.

For example, well-informed people will say that Adolf Hitler, one of the guiltiest persons in World War II, is also a talented speechmaker and a gifted battle commander. By contrast, those who learn from history books can only have a superficial understanding of his tyranny, let alone his merits.

June 29, 2020 at 3:39 pmVarious news media have made their way into every corner of life. Sometimes people do feel overwhelmed by many different news sources. However, these sources are the most effective way to be well-informed in modern society.
To begin with, not all the news sources agree with the fact. It is not uncommon that some sources exaggerate a certain side of the news and sometimes even distort the truth. To make matters worse, they might use a catching headline that has nothing to do with the content in the news. Since fake news prevents people from becoming well-informed, they have to look for the authentic one to determine the reality. Suppose a person sees a piece of news from the entertaining part of news, it is highly possible to have covered the truth. But if setting considerable store by getting information from diverse sources, people are less likely to fall for fake news.
Besides, it reduces the chance to look at a phenomenon from a biased perspective. In fact, failing to express news in an objective tone often misleads readers to perceive events in the wrong way. For example, opinions on Adolf Hitler, one of the guiltiest persons in World War II, vary from person to person. Well-informed people think of him as a talented speechmaker and a gifted battle commander. By contrast, those who learn from history books can only have a superficial understanding of his tyranny, let alone his merits. Thus, it seems plausible that people will show balanced perceptions with multiple news sources.
In conclusion, it is indeed a hard thing to be well-informed. After all, it takes a long time to search for the news sources and evaluate them. But if people can get accustomed to conquering this tricky job, they will finally become intelligent and well-informed.
