Summary
On 27 May, Chinese teenager was founded in the cargo hold of flight EK303(Emirates Airlines) from Shanghai to Dubai. The boy had tried to stow away to Dubai because he wanted to make money there as beggar. This report has caused a conversation in China about misinformation because the teenager had heard that beggars in Dubai had been able to make 470,000 yuan($71,275) in a month and he tried to stow away. Actually, the information had reported and also shared widely on the Twitter, even though the news was incorrect. Some people said that the media should be blamed of spreading inaccurate news.
Opinion
I understand his action a little because I have ever been to Dubai and felt Dubai’s possibility of developing more and more, and people there were vital and curious to progress. However, his motive of going Dubai was come from the media’s wrong information. This is the problem! I think the media should be responsible for this. This seems small problem, but I think this issue should be the serious one because the media which basically have to tell the true news gave the false information. This rich Dubai’s news might be surprising, but why not did they tell the situation that Dubai police has carried out campaign to stop begging on the streets and some people has been already arrested because of making money excessively? Now I am interested in the media, therefore I want to think more about the media’s “real method” with this article.
