Mass Media has a great
responsibility as people put their faith and trust in publications. Media can
also be exploited to manipulate people’s behavior while applying a political
agenda or can be used for advertising purposes where ethical boundaries might
also be violated. For example,the issues of
how the usage of microwave ovens is unhealthy.
Publicizing such articles to the
general public who is the intended audience, without full certainty, can be considered as an
irresponsible act when microwave ovens have taken over kitchens around
the world and multiple companies fabricate and sell these ovens.
It is necessary to note that some articles were published websites where neither scientists nor experts
review the claims before publishing it.Thus, it is
necessary to report on the accuracy of the provided medical information, to
assess the terminology used in the articles, and to check for any possible
political or commercial background.Thus, it is necessary to follow a
strategy that eliminate deficiencies in communication, earn creditability,
reader’s trust, use scientific and objective terminology, and to refer to
statistics and studies conducted by trustful sources.
