How does this sound? Our media glorifies the violent nature in our society, and we do nothing against it. Our cinema only grows in gore as directors push the line to get shock value their marketing ploy. News anchors always focus on the individual who committed the crime and never view the context of the situation. The way the media operates with biased coverage loses the trustworthiness and forces people away based on their political standpoint. Only 7% of crimes are violent crimes and are being bloated in our news coverage with highly opinionated language. This language, according to a study done by the government, states that this news not only desensitises the general people and increases the fear of crimes. Also, it is theorised that these stories of atrocities give people a sense that it is happening everywhere all at once, instilling more fear into the public. There is evidence that hearing the stories causes the listeners to believe it is possible to commit these crimes and most likely increase the crime rates all over Australian suburbs and cities. The News anchors feed us more and more information about the violent crimes that it creates a false perception such as the fact that Homicide rates in Australia have decreased and yet the more of them are published with strongly biased language into the media.

How does the media, such as: Movies/ TV & More importantly - New coverage, affect crime rates?

Objectivity can mean many things. In the sense of a distance from subjectivity, it is a contentious theme in professional journalism. It can be striven for, but it is rarely possible, and may not always be desirable in the face of brutality or inhumanity (for example, fair and independent reporting would not give the same moral credence to the claims of those who have been convicted of committing war crimes as those of people who have survived them – although even the latter should not be above investigation into their veracity). But fairness, independence, accuracy, contextuality, transparency, protection of confidential sources and perspicacity61 in reporting build trust, credibility and confidence.1)  Achieving objectivity in journalism is straightforward and paramount, ensuring reports are balanced without reliance on additional journalistic virtues.2)  Objectivity necessitates impartial consideration of all narratives, equating the perspectives of both war criminals and their victims.3)  Navigating objectivity in journalism is nuanced; prioritizing fairness, accuracy, and transparency is essential for cultivating credibility.4)  The foremost objective of journalism is to attain absolute objectivity, relegating principles such as fairness and accuracy to a subordinate status.
