Censorship is the removal and withholding of information from the public mainly by governments or other official organisations .Whether censorship is justified is always a controversial issue that attracts public’s attention.
Censorship often forbids publishing something, but not everything is suitable to be published. Mass media intend to see things in a commercial way, and want report almost every thing that can attract the attention of the people and hence earning money from them. The mass media like to make everything into "news" that many people have bad impression to the censorship. Some reporters have spent much time and money, and even in condition that their lives were threaded, and got some valuable information that can make an explosive effect; but they were forbidden by the censorship. In that case, they will definitely feel disappointed and claim that the order that their news can't be published is how unjustified.
Censorship is everywhere in all sorts of media, TV, newspaper, magazine, Internet, etc. It is necessary for government to use censorship to prevent illegal or harmful information contaminating the minds of the people, especially those teenagers. One example will be the famous band,the Rolling Stones ,who faced censorship by the china government . Five of their songs were not allowed to play during their concert in Shanghai. The government is trying to protect the moral of their citizens and prevent people from accessing to harmful information.In conclusion, censorship is really needed to keep us from vulgar expressions on the media, make sure everyone's rights and protect the security of a nation even though it is hard to justify it.
