看看报纸或者看看新闻,你会觉得世界无时无刻不在变坏。镜头里,一个问题接着一个问题。死亡、毁坏、绝望,越多这样的消息,媒体就越兴奋。一本丹麦新闻学教科书说:“好故事通常都是坏消息。”偶尔(只是偶尔)我们也可以从新闻中看到一些正能量的关于“越变越好”的故事。这时媒体就会收获一种带着内疚的快慰。因此,我们通常会觉得世界比实际上更糟——尽管我们感觉自己的生活正在改善。举个例子。1978年以来,美国消费者每年都会填写一份问卷调查,看看他们当前的财务状况比一年前更糟还是更好。在过去25年中,平均有38%的人说情况更好了,有32%的人说情况更糟了。但是,在被问及美国经济总体状况时,平均有47%的人说情况更糟了,只有38%的人说情况更好了。更多的人认为他们的生活在改善,而别人的生活在恶化,也许这就是新闻记者长久以来偏好坏消息的
Look at the newspaper or look at the news, you will feel the world changing all the time. In the lens, one problem and one problem after another. The more the news of death, destruction, despair, and more, the more excited the media are. A Danish journalism textbook says: “Good stories are often bad news.” Occasionally (and only occasionally) we can also see some positive energy stories about “getting better” from the news. At this moment, the media will rejoice with guilt. Therefore, we often feel that the world is worse than it is - in spite of the fact that we feel our lives are improving. for example. Since 1978, U.S. consumers have completed a yearly questionnaire to see if their current financial position is worse or better than a year ago. In the past 25 years, an average of 38% said things were better and 32% said things were worse. However, when asked about the general state of the U.S. economy, an average of 47% said the situation was even worse, with only 38% saying things were better. More people think that their lives are improving, while the lives of others are deteriorating, and that’s probably why journalists have long been bad news
