There are many events that people can point to that can be said to have changed the world and altered the course of history. The introduction of the first automobile completely changed how we traveled and suddenly places that took hours, or even days, to get to could be driven to in significantly less time. The advent of the internet completely changed the way people communicated and suddenly people in other parts of the world could exchange ideas, and do business, in ways they never could before. These types of events made the world seem smaller and in some ways made the world better and in other ways made the world worse. Automobiles did make destinations more accessible and greatly sped up the delivery of critical items such as food and clothing to all parts of the world but people are also killed by automobile drivers every day. The exhaust created by so many cars in the world is often blamed for causing a dangerous shift in our atmosphere that is said to be destroying our planet. The internet has become a haven for criminals attempting to steal the identities of unsuspecting victims and those preying on the naïve tendencies of our children. For every good thing to a history altering event there is always a drawback and that can be said about the media as well. The press has been blamed for glorifying terrible events in order to sell more newspapers or gather more television viewers. During the Viet Nam war people would turn in to the news to see footage of troops being killed or battles raging in villages where troops and civilians were all in the line of fire. People became fascinated with this kind of news coverage and the press enjoyed a resurgence during the Viet Nam war. But the problem for the press was that they only had a half hour slot in the evening to gather in their viewers and get their point across. The advent of the 24 hour news network changed that. Today there are several networks dedicated only to news and so people that are looking to become well informed can tune in to their favorite 24 hour news channel to see the stories of the day and get their updated information. The press on television 24 hours a day is a great thing for people that want information in detail at all hours of the day and it also helps the media solve the problem of how to reach that audience that does not have the time to tune in to the national news at 6:30pm Monday through Friday. But the press also has a huge responsibility when it comes to reporting the details of major news stories all day long and it seems that the media is still using their 24 hour podium to glorify tragedy. Ever since the 24 hour news network was created war has become a regularly televised event. People may start becoming desensitized to the horrors of war if they are constantly watching it on the television 24 hours a day. Horrifying events like the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado become ways for less stable people to get their 15 minutes of fame because they know the 24 hour news networks will uncover every detail about them after they have committed their horrible act. The concept of 24 hour news networks seems an ideal way to keep the public informed but without the press taking any responsibility for what they report and how they report it the 24 hour news networks could also be a source for tragedy as well.
