along with their thought process are the key to the decision of what goes out to the audience.

For instance

, if the owner of the news firm is from a political party, he/she might expect their editor to circulate news that supports the party more than the facts. Which can be really bad for the general public. There is a great deal of negative happenings around the world and one can never be comfortable with bad news. No matter what, they can be depressing and harsh realities. They always tend to have a negative impact on the community.

For example

, there have been a number of shootings all over the USA and no matter how many times we listen to them, we always feel bad for the victims. No one can get used to them.

On the other hand

, it is always a pleasure to know of good news. It creates a healthy and a positive atmosphere and builds up the confidence. More good news creates more positive discussions and leads to much happier society. In conclusion,

although

it is the editor’s choice to decide what is communicated through their mass media, focusing on spreading more good and positive news can help the society than bad ones.
