An essay expressing your claim regarding the actions of the news media. Using the reading, ‘The Perfect Picture’ by James Alexander Thom.

‌ ‌The‌ ‌picture,‌ ‌he‌ ‌felt,‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌an‌ ‌invasion‌ ‌of‌ ‌privacy.‌ ‌In‌ ‌the‌ ‌end,‌ ‌he‌ ‌could‌ ‌not‌ ‌take‌ ‌the‌ ‌picture.‌ ‌He‌ ‌claimed,‌ ‌“Human‌ ‌suffering‌ ‌has‌ ‌become‌ ‌a‌ ‌spectator‌ ‌sport.”‌ ‌ The‌ ‌news‌ ‌media‌ ‌have‌ ‌been‌ ‌accused‌ ‌of‌ ‌presenting‌ ‌false‌ ‌information‌ ‌or‌ ‌“fake‌ ‌news.”‌ ‌It‌ ‌has‌ ‌also‌ ‌been‌ ‌accused‌ ‌of‌ ‌not‌ ‌presenting‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌truth.‌ ‌Therefore,‌  ‌unlike‌ ‌James‌ ‌Alexander‌ ‌Thom,‌ ‌some‌ ‌might‌ ‌say‌ ‌that‌ ‌news‌ ‌reporters‌ ‌should‌ ‌use‌ ‌every‌ ‌means‌ ‌possible‌ ‌and‌ ‌lawful‌ ‌to‌ ‌them,‌ ‌even‌ ‌if‌ ‌that‌ ‌means‌ ‌treating‌ ‌human‌ ‌suffering‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌“spectator‌ ‌sport,”‌ ‌in‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌ ‌present‌ ‌the‌ ‌“truth.”‌  ‌What‌ ‌is‌ ‌your‌ ‌claim‌ ‌or‌ ‌point‌ ‌of‌ ‌view‌ ‌regarding‌ ‌this‌ ‌matter?‌ ‌ Write‌ ‌an‌ ‌essay‌ ‌to‌ ‌support‌ ‌your‌ ‌claim.‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌not‌ ‌a‌ ‌summary‌ ‌or‌ ‌the‌ ‌reading‌ ‌or‌ ‌reaction‌ ‌to‌ ‌it.‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌an‌ ‌essay‌ ‌expressing‌ ‌your‌ ‌claim‌ ‌regarding‌ ‌the‌ ‌actions‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌news‌ ‌media.‌ ‌
