Well-reported news is a public good; bad news is bad for everyone.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The bad news is that only the bad people reach the news because they are noisier.
The bad news for journalists today is that the media, however seriously people who are in the public eye take it, is not taken as seriously as it once was - by the public.
The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news.
In the business world, bad news is usually good news - for somebody else.
Television news is a delicate balance of serving public good and private gain.
The democratic approach to news is a very valuable thing. We're always going to be dependent on the quality of reporting of mainstream media.
Good news doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man.
Everyone should get their news however they want to and in whatever form they want. I'm not going to sit back in judgment of other people and the way they do it.
To a journalist, good news is often not news at all.
Without the balancing context of everyday life, all you have is the news, and news by its nature is generally bad.
