【头脑风暴】

① 小布什在发动第二次海湾战争之前，让幕僚们收集新闻报道，其中就包含了凤凰卫视的立场，可见，媒体影响力之微妙深远。

② 新闻是隔夜就会馊的豆腐，而大众永远喜欢鲜豆腐。所以，新闻媒体人不易，报道既要有影响力，还不能违法违规。

③ 明星们有太多的油彩，难免招人嫉妒。一些人的阴暗心里是——你们有什么不快乐的事情，都发布出来吧，让我们也快乐一下。

【思路拓展】

① 媒体的教育性：媒体可以扮演教育者的角色，对缺乏新闻阅读经验者而言，他们无论是在常识或阅历上都相当地受局限。相反，有新闻阅读习惯的人却可从媒体中受益良多。例如，阅读国际新闻可以培养人的全球化视角，开拓人的眼界，更能培养人的分析性思维、理性思维、辩证思维。

② 媒体的信息性： 媒体是大众获得信息的重要渠道。阅读本国本地的消息可使我们熟悉最新的时事政治，很多消息和个人息息相关。例如，很多企业家每日最重要的功课之一就是收看《新闻联播》。投资者可以通过新闻了解国家最新的政策和市场信息，这样才能让企业的发展与时俱进。

③ 媒体的娱乐性：媒体是人们琐碎生活的调剂。阅读各类新闻媒体是很多人消遣娱乐的方式之一。《生活空间》栏目就是鲜明的例证，我喜欢了解不同的人生，“讲述老百姓自己的故事”让我在思考中感受快乐。

【首段】背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场

Perhaps nobody can avoid being swayed by various mass media. The news media have been exerting a tremendous influence on our lives because they can not only bring about glaring changes to the lives of ordinary people，but even ruin a political leader. Some people worry that the impacts of mass media are quite negative. From my perspective, however, what the news media can benefit us is greater than what they might influence us adversely.

The opposite stand is also understandable. It is true that some paparazzi of tabloid magazines like to publish details about those superstars’ private lives，which might bring untold agonies to heroes of the story. Likewise, for the purpose of catering to the taste of the general public, some editors of newspapers and magazines also enjoy deliberately exaggerating so as to create a sensation. Surely enough, such irresponsible reportages should be highly condemned. However, we have no reason to throw out the baby with bath water.
