Assessment how Modern Media help us to stay informed

Andrew R. Chow and Billy Perrigo are critizising Big Tech companies in their article "The AI Arms Race is changing Everything" from 2023 for striving for profit over safety. As a result, society is nowadays constantly seduced to continue scrolling using social media. The effects are mirrored in "a guttered news business, a rise of misinformation, and a skyrocketing teen mental health crisis" (l. 29-30). With such immense issues, how is it possible for modern media contributing to inform citizens?

At first sight, anyone is able to post without any examination of correctness. Consequently, this leads to many misinformation that aim to deform reality. Equally important is the fact that posts in social media are globally spread within seconds. This eases the intention to distribute fake news around the world. There are almost no obstacles to spread misinformation globally in such a short time to influence people's attitude toward for instance a political party in particular.
In addition to that, algorithms and filter bubbles are created to keep users scrolling. These algorithms recognize the topics users liked and suggest similar videos or posts. The intention is to get people sink into these ranges without noticing. The problem with algorithms and filter bubbles is that one sided information can lead to polarization of society.
Nevertheless, there are diverse benefits of modern media. One crucial aspect is the variety of opinions since anyone is able to contribute.
Furthermore, the way to inform oneself is ordinarily accessible because there are articles referring to several topics.
Besides, another important impact is the interconnectedness of news that leads to a global reach. Thanks to that, German citizens know about events in Brasilia and Brazilians know about events in Japan.
As we see, there are benefits as well as disadvantages. That is why the urgency to use modern media conciously has increased. For us citizens, it is significant to rely on different media outlets instead of just one to decrease the risk of believing misinformation. Moreover, we should be factchecking information we heard and should never not think critically. We should always be considering if content we just read is reliable and be aware that just because something seems credible it does not necessarily have to be true.
Taking everything into account, there are some benefits but also dangerous risks using the modern media to stay informed. Because of that, a concious use of the media is fundamental to stay informed correctly.

At first sight, anyone is able to post without any examination of correctness.


At first sight, anyone is able to post without any examination of correctness. At first sight, anyone is able to post without any examination of correctness.

"At first sight" implies that what follows (anyone being able to post anything) is misleading and not actually true. You go on to list all the bad things that this causes, but then you go onto the positive aspects of social media. This does not refute the bad points, just adds good points. As a result, using "At first sight" is a bit awkward. This is because what I think you mean to say is "look at the negative effects, but also look at the positive effects". However, using "At first sight" gives the impression that you mean to say "look at the apparent bad effects, but here is why these effects are actually good..."

Consequently, this leads to many misinformation that aim to deform reality.


Consequently, this leads to manya lot of misinformation that aims to deform reality. Consequently, this leads to a lot of misinformation that aims to deform reality.

'Misinformation' is an uncountable noun. So you should use 'a lot' instead of many. For example: Do NOT use : 'many' water, instead use: 'a lot of' water Also, since the word 'misinformation' is singular, you should use the singular third person present tense verb ending. For example: Do NOT use : that thing give us problems; Instead use: that thing gives us problems

This eases the intentionmakes it easy to distribute fake news around the world. This makes it easy to distribute fake news around the world.

"Eases" usually means something along the lines of 'make things less tense' or 'relax'. It does not precisely mean 'to make something less difficult'. So, you should use 'makes it easy' instead. Also, intention is not really something that can be 'made easy', its something that you want, or aim for. Your goals may be made easy.

This eases the intention toallows for ease of distributeion of fake news around the world. This allows for ease of distribution of fake news around the world.

There are almost no obstacles to spread misinformation globally in such a short time, to influence people's attitude towards, for instance a specific political party.

"There are almost ... a short time" is a complete thought, so to add more to it, it is wise to add a comma. Similarly, when introducing an example with the phrases "to instance" or "for example" etc, place a comma to separate these clauses.

There are almost no obstacles to prevent the spread of misinformation globally in such a short time toto negate potential influence of people's attitude towards for instance, a particular political party in particular. There are almost no obstacles to prevent the spread of misinformation globally to negate potential influence of people's attitude towards for instance, a particular political party.

The intention is to get people sink into these ranges without noticing.

Furthermore, the way to inform oneself is ordinarily accessible because there are articles referring to several topics. Furthermore, the way to inform oneself is ordinarily accessible because there are articles referring to several topics.

This sentence only makes grammatical sense, not semantic sense. What do you mean when you say that 'articles referring to several topics' makes it 'ordinarily accessible' to 'inform oneself'? A diverse range of topics would only make it more likely to be informed on several topics, but not make it easier to get that information. Perhaps you mixed two thoughts up: 1. It is easier to inform oneself because smartphones capable of accessing social media are common. 2. It is possible to more broadly inform oneself because modern media covers a wide range of topics.

In terms of flow, it may sound inconsistent if you name a city in Brazil, but don't name a city in Japan, or if you say "German Citizens" but not "Brazilian Citizens" as well. This is a bit nit-picky but I think just something to think about.

When talking about things you do in general or as a habit (i.e, generally hearing some information), use the simple present form of the verb (hear, not heard).

"modern media" is generally not used with an article. It is treated like other abstract nouns, like 'happiness' or 'humanity' that take no articles.
