Negative media

Today from news reporting to entertainment; media is spinning a web of negativity.  Everyday when you pick up the newspaper or put on a channel you get majority of negative news reporting.  People discusses hours and hours on a negative issue.  How much time are we spending on reporting reading watching and discussing positive good news? Very very less I understand.  Media has only one goal; to increase trp ratings. Those who sit at home and watch news are more interested in negative news than positive. We are helping them to spread negativity.  The power is with us.  We need to change our attitude.  A shift has to happen in our mindset.  We need to discuss more positive things than negative.  Issues needs to be addressed but the time we are spending on negative news is far more than positive good news.  I don't know how many good positive news gets reported daily. Most good news are kept short. The worst is social media.  People spread negativity to grab attention.  That's all there is to it.  If your newspaper or channel reports a negative news more people tend to tune into know about it out of curiosity.  Whether positive or negative news creates a curiosity in us and its normal. It creates unnecessary panic and anxiety in people when such negative news are aired and discussed over and over again for days together creating mountains out of mole hills.  There is no visible changes in actions and measures taken for the negative outcomes.  All social issues gets good media coverage and everything ends in the media discussion room.  Those who are trying their level best to bring about change are hitting against a wall everyday.  Any sensible suggestion  put forward is appreciated in public but when that same suggestion is to be followed in ones personal life.  We forget the rules and regulations.  Only a change in attitude can bring about any development for our country and that change starts with each one of us.  Lets not get hung up on negativity so much.  And start spreading positivity.  Make it a habit not to forward or create false news.  Negativity can only create more of it.  We are full of it.  We are being thrown negativity from every angle.  We are even fed negativity.  Let us empower ourselves and stop giving power to those who want to benefit out of negativity.
