英検1級英作文：メディア

2021年第1回の英検1級受験時に、英作文・面接対策として自分が書き溜めた原稿を公開しています。

Grammarlyに頼りつつ書いたもので、完全に独学で勉強していたため、不自然な表現や文法的に間違った英文が含まれている可能性もありますので、ご注意ご了承ください。

実績としては、本番は英作文・面接どちらもこのブログで公開している原稿から、使える部分を流用したような格好で解答を行いました。

得点もそれぞれ英作文が745/850で9割近い点数が獲れ, 面接は615/850と合格ギリギリの水準ですが、2分スピーチセクションであまりの緊張から10秒近く言葉が出てこなかった所から原稿の内容を駆使した決死の、華麗なる逆転劇があってのものですので、内容としてはまあ悪くない水準にあると思います。

そう信じています。

英検1級合格を目指す皆様に、こちらの原稿が少しでもお役に立てば幸いです。

Has the quality of journalism declined in the digital age?

---

With the evolution of digital technology, the nature of media and journalism is changing. With the advent of Internet platforms, a wider range of information is now being disseminated, however, I think that the change with digital technologies brought the decline in the quality of journalism for the following three reasons.

Firstly, the rapid pace of news reporting has led to a decline in the quality of journalism. The increasing number of news platforms has generated competition to report news quickly. It has been taking away time to appropriately fact-check, which is one of the factors of a decline in the quality of news.

Secondly, the anonymity of the Internet is also a factor in the declining quality of journalism. There are many self-proclaimed news writers who continue to irresponsibly spread uncertain information, believing that their anonymity means that they are not responsible for the information they send out.

Finally, in the first place, the ease of delivering news via the Internet is a major factor in the decline in the quality of journalism. The increase in the number of news dissemination by amateurs has led to an inevitable decline in the quality of journalism as a whole.

In conclusion, for these three reasons, the rapid pace of news reporting, the anonymity of the Internet, and the news reporting by amateurs, I think that the quality of journalism declined in the digital age
