Can you distinguish which media discourse is right?

When I was in press in my university, my senior said we've learned media should be just and fair to all in schools but it's not in reality. I was surprised and I had a chaos in my point of view.
To my students I'm not sure how they are taught about media whether it's just or not. If they are taught, it's right or fair to the fact, how would we help them know the unfair media or media discourse, furthermore the power in discourse? If they are taught, it's not all right, what should we do? How can we help them to understnad the media (discourse) and power?

South Korean entertainer Kim Jae-dong plans to give a lecture at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology on May 10 to comfort distressed students there, according to reports.

Students and faculty at the university have been deeply shocked by the suicides of four students and a professor since January. Many have blamed the highly competitive academic environment under the school’s grade-based tuition-fee system.

Kim also plans to have a heart-to-heart talk with students after the lecture, his agency said.

Reports say that Kim volunteered to give the lecture due to his relationship with a professor at the school.

2.1) Make your own time table or course schedule for a week.

1.  If you set your life goals or future jobs, do you think current time table (or curriculum in broad view) in your school meets your expectation? If yes or no, why do you think so?

2. If no, please create or rearrange your own time table which leads you closer to your future dreams.

If one wants to be a policeman and another athlete, will the course schedule be the same or not? Why do you think so?

3.1) Present your time table.

3.2) Comment about others’ time table in terms of motivation.
