本周題目是新題，涉及媒體問題。以下是近幾年與媒體相關的雅思真題及老雅範文：

本題涉及視覺圖像與新聞報道（news story）之間的關係。有人認為，視覺圖像（如圖片和視頻）新聞更準確，但也有人認為，視覺圖像也不準確。

這類題目更適合雙邊討論：因為視覺圖像新聞相對於文字新聞顯然有其更準確的一面，但某些時候也同樣具有欺騙性。

因此，本範文採取如下結構：

introduction

相對於文字媒介，用視覺圖像來報道新聞的確更準確。

---包含的信息更多

---報道的方式更直接，顯得更生動，更「真實」

視覺圖像新聞也可能不準確

---選擇性

---角度

我的觀點：用視覺圖像來報道的新聞雖然顯得更加真實，但後面其實也滲透了作者的選擇和角度，因此無論是文字還是圖像，為了給讀者準確的新聞，都需要新聞報導人具有客觀態度。

高分範文

Many people today turn to visual images such as photograph and video for news on the ground that they can provide more accurate information. It is perhaps right for them to do so, but they may also have failed to recognize the deceitfulness of visual images.

Obviously, photographs and videos enjoy some advantages over written words in communicating news. They present news in a vivid and direct way as if their audiences were looking at what is happening with their own eyes, making them feel that the news is real and accurate. The audiences of videos, for instance, can not only see what is going on there, but also such factual details as the facial expressions and gestures, and can distinguish the attitude of people through their voices. With all these information available, the audiences believe that they are in a good position to make their own judgments, in a way that is not possible when they are reading verbal form of news.

Yet what many people fail to understand is that visual news media can sometimes be misleading as well. It is important here that we remember any representation, be it verbal or visual, must be selective. Like other media, visual images are nothing else but given by the reporters behind. So what we see and hear in photographs and videos is what the reporters, who do the shooting and editing, want us to see and hear. In other words, the news reporters, if they wish, can provide us with inaccurate coverage of events by using visual images highly selective and involving highly personal perspectives.

My opinion, therefore, is that we should not be so naive as to be deceived by the 「faithfulness」and 「accuracy」of visual images. What really matters for faithful and accurate news stories is not the forms they are presented, but the willingness of the reporters to stay objective and unbiased.
