How can media contribute to overcoming societal divisions?

Overcoming societal division can be achieved by content verification. The growing presence of media is due to the speed brought by the advancement of social platforms. The increasing speed has led information to being spread in a short period of time. Many individuals now believe gossip is a source of news and media companies started to release content without monitoring from competition for exclusives. At worst, some media companies use controversial titles to increase clicks, because the number of subscribers and readers can appeal to advertisers. All of these factors are increasing societal divisions. Rather than apologizing afterward, professional reporters must verify the content before releasing it to the news. Also, it is important to clearly state the source of information. Most importantly, I believe the media’s job is to be the moderator of various ideas not inclining towards progressive and conservative. Therefore, it is important to embrace many ideas and thoughts.
