I watch the news every evening and 90% of it is very depressing. My mother will not watch the news anymore due to it making her more depressed. I have done a research on people who watch the news at least three times a week. After doing the research and feedback it seems when people watch the news at least three to four times a week feel over-whelmed and upset. I have read commnets from people who say the news that many times a week was to much. They commented the weather was good to hear but all the sad and bad news was beginning to take a toll on some of the subjects who partisipated in the research.
I also ask the subjects what if there were a News program they could watch about real people who brought laughter back, and made sure there would be a 30 minute segment of funny, happy news--mixed up with the sad, bad news.
This was only a test done by surveys mailed out to 125 people and 68% wanted more funny, happy, but the sad news first or do a News segment that made them feel better--less depressing.
Thanks for reading this and like I said it was only a test.
