Sample Answer
In my country, sensational news tends to dominate the media landscape, particularly stories that involve scandal, celebrity culture, or dramatic events. This inclination for the sensational is fueled by a combination of public interest and the competitive nature of news outlets, which aspire to capture the audience's attention swiftly. Consequently, traditional news is often overshadowed by viral stories that circulate on social media platforms, where rapid access to information is prioritized over depth and reliability. However, there is a growing audience for more substantial journalism that tackles pressing issues such as politics, social justice, and environmental concerns. This divergence illustrates a broader shift in public consumption of news—one that reflects both a desire for entertainment and a hunger for informed discourse.
