In last article, I wrote general things about OhmyNews. But, those days, I heard interesting infomation about OhmyNews, so I want to write it. It is not only interesting but also useful for Japan, which begin to make Japanese OhmyNews.
The merit of OhmyNews is that everyone can write an article to mass media. In other words, it can deal with opinions and points of view of the poor. It seems great. But, the poor are apt to write articles emotionally. This is because they want to appeal their poorness and be helped. In addition, its editorial staffs are apt to choose such emotional articles because such articles attract more people than usual articles. Then, what happen? OhmyNews is filled with such emotional articles! It is very serious problem. OhmyNews was made as a new media which play the oroginal role of mass media. For mass media, objectivity is very very very important. If objectivity is lost, it cannot be called mass media, I think.
What do you think of this problem?
