The majority of news being reported is bad news such as wars, famines, accidents and crime. Why do you think that is? Do you think the news should be a balance of both good and bad news?

It is irrefutable that most news outlets put negative events on the spotlight. This essay will discuss how ragebait and capitalization of ones’ tragedy can influence the reporting and how this is actually a desirable development.
To start, at the age of short-term attention span and clickbait, it somes as no surprise that journalist need to put out the content that would capture people’s attention. Although it can be argued that positive, family-friendly content can get as many views, no one will share or discuss such events after some time. Another argument in favour of reporting tragic events can be very ill-intended. There are a lot of cases when media outlets launched a charity, but when the donations were not flowing well, one after another, they would show the target of their charity making them act as victims.
However, as the practice shows, this is indeed a change for the better. Having read the headlines, some people might repost it, hence, raising the awareness among his or her following. The is, of course, the possibility that the reposter might have not read the article that he or she posted, but we must trust people’s media litteracy to educate quick-to-jump-on-trend people. As for the monetization of tragedy, there have always been people exploiting a trauma of a nation or a person. This, should not hold people back from opening and promoting ethical donations.
In conclusion, I believe that in the case of mass hysteria because of tragic events, the focus might shift to covering them. Whatever the intentions of the reporters and the corporations doing it, I am of the opinion that it is a uniting approach for people.
