The media should include more stories which report good news. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#media #stories #report #news
There is a debate going on
whether

about whether

 the
media
 should include more
stories
 which report good news. Nowadays there are a lot of different
media
 sources and a lot of them write articles about different
things
 and topics. I partially agree with
this
 statement, because there are pros and cons on each side of it. On one hand, when the
media
 includes good
stories
 it can be good for readers to get out of their routine days and just relax with an article about a great
neighborhood
Change the spelling
neighbourhood
show examples
 or some other nice and peaceful
stories
.
Also
 when a person reads a positive story I believe, it can really make a difference
on

in
show examples
 a person's
behavior

 and he could get relaxed after reading that kind of story.
Lastly
, when
people
 read about positive movements or positive acts they might get motivated to
also
 do something good for the community.
On the other hand
, writing about accidents might get an even bigger audience. Many
media
 sources like to write about
things
 that are rare and do not happen
oftenly
Correct your spelling
often
 and one of those
things
 is burglaries, accidents,
robberies
Correct word choice
and robberies
show examples
 because
people
 find it interesting to read about stuff that occurs rarely. It lets them fully understand what happened and some
stories
 are even better than movies, so
people
 find it amusing that those kinds of
things
 happen in real life. All
things
 considered, I believe that if there would be more good news in the
media
,
people
 would not bother to read them, because articles regarding accidents and robberies would be much more entertaining.
