When I'm seventy years old I want medias to work different from today. I want them to find their roots, find their purposes, find their meaning. "Which roots?" you probably want to ask now. No, I don't mean that we should go back to the time when news were new when they were one month old. I mean the simple fact that media should help people to understand the world, to help them to get to know how systems like politics, like art, like healt work. But not by simplifyng contents as many medias try to do these days. No, not by making news as short as possible reporting only shocking ot touching news.
Media should help people by giving them as many information as possible. Sure they can't print the master thesis of a physicist directly into the newspaper, so sure there has to be some simplification. But please not in the way media do nowadays by making news that fit in one sentences and catchy headline.
When I'm seventy years old I want medias to be objective.

When I reach seventy years old, I hope the media will have changed. They need to return to their roots, find the meaning of things, and fulfill their purpose. Once, they informed, educated and presented both sides of an issue like politics, health care, and art; now they indulge in shocking and emotional events. They talk down to the readers, shortening the story and dropping the details. Major events have been reduced to one paragraph with an eye-catching headline.
The media should present all the facts and let the reader decide the merit.
When I'm seventy, I hope to see better coverage of all events-- national, world, or local--with more objective information.
