News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news, and would it be better if more good news was reported? What is broadcast on televisions and published in newspapers are decided by editors and there are several factors which are influential in this decision making process. These days, in my opinion, we are going to become used to bad news and I would prefer to be exposed to much more good news instead. Some factors mold editors' mindset as to what can be suitable to broadcast on televisions and to publish in papers. First, they want to draw the attention of viewers and readers which can be fruitful in having a wider viewership and readership. Secondly, editors feel the responsibility to inform people about different issues such as health and poverty which can lead to raising public awareness. Finally, they are probably prone to be/being under pressure by their superiors who employ them. For example, owners might force the editors to print or broadcast whatever they want based on their selfish political interest, else they may not be provided with complete salary and perks. Nowadays we are bombarded by bad news. For example, there are is a great deal of several bad news which are is ubiquitous among countries and make headlines such as scandals and murders. Such news poses fundamental problems for people ranging from depression to pessimism and in some cases, if the crime is beyond the pale, society are is more likely to be shrouded in fear and violence. If society were provided with more good news than bad news, it would move the people in this community forward and impact/influence their lives positively. A case in point is news related to the cure of infertility through stem cells and manufacturing of bicycles by recycled materials. Such news should be aimed at changing the atmosphere of society in terms of optimism and making people hopeful about their future. In conclusion, although for some influential reasons editors decide what can be prioritized to print in newspapers or show on channels and these days there are is more bad news than good news available for people by these media, I would like to support the idea that good news should be put importance more than bad news by editors to address through media.
