Negative News: |”Why It’s So Prevalent and How to Get More Positive News”

Negative news is everywhere. It seems like every time we turn on the TV, open a newspaper, or go online, we’re bombarded with stories about crime, violence, and disaster. It’s no wonder that so many people are feeling stressed, anxious, and depressed.

But why is negative news so prevalent? There are a few reasons. First, negative news is more likely to grab our attention. It’s simply more interesting than positive news. We’re hardwired to pay attention to threats, so stories about violence, crime, and disaster are more likely to capture our attention.

Second, negative news is more likely to be shared. When we see something negative, we’re more likely to tell our friends and family about it. This helps to spread the negative message even further.

Third, negative news is often more credible than positive news. We’re more likely to believe stories that confirm our existing beliefs. So if we already believe that the world is a dangerous place, we’re more likely to believe stories about crime and violence.
