What do you wish the news did?
Perhaps this question would be better shaped to “What do you wish the news did not do?” The reason being is that whatever suggestion you come up with has likely already been done – maybe not by CNN or The Washington Post, but by a blogger or freelance investigator. In the scenario that it hasn’t been done, well… who is stopping you from implementing your idea?
Apropos to my previous post, I mentioned that we should understand why the news sources choose the news to share. Why is every cover page telling a story about death, disease, adultery, murder, theft and loss. I believe that, in understanding, it is very simple – it’s all about the eye balls. While we can go into the psychology of it, it doesn’t take a psychologist professor for a layperson to understand the concept of yellow journalism.
With this into consideration, I wish the news would first try to implement a average citizen focus group to decide what goes on the cover, what is more advertised than other articles, and what they (the average citizens) want to read. If this is in some way improbable, then at least cut the vulgarity and introduce more good-news. (Thanks Huff!)
Stay Positive & Good News Is…. Good
