However, even beyond the necessity of it, people seem to have some strange obsession with hearing about other people's lives who are worse than their. While I would like to see more "good" stories about achievements and other positive things, I do think most stations and papers do a good job of balancing it based on the public interest.LogannRobertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173751001919965157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-11210080225324053542011-10-11T10:41:14.419-07:002011-10-11T10:41:14.419-07:00I don't think the media will ever stop reporti...I don't think the media will ever stop reporting on the "bad" stories that happen in communities. I don't even think these stories are necessarily giving communities a bad name; they simply have more prominence and importance to the viewers. The stories about murder, robberies, and theft are the stories that keep those people watching up-to-date on what is taking place in their communities and cannot be filtered off the airway simply because they are seen as negative or bad to some people.Rachel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17581478322502789545noreply@blogger.com
