In the past, people relied on newspapers for information. Unlike today, where we’re bombarded with endless live updates on our phones, daily papers had a limit to the amount of content they could provide. In addition to the constraints of space, newspapers also adhered to strict editorial guidelines that discouraged the publication from printing excessive negative information.The 24-hour news cycle and the rise of social media platforms have led to the prevalence of negative news consumption. By constantly exposing ourselves to such information, we might feel hopeless and anxious about the state of the world.Over time, this constant exposure can lead us to believe that the world is a much worse place than it actually is. This phenomenon is often referred to as “mean world syndrome.”

Negative news hits us harder emotionally as we’re wired to feel fear and anger more intensely than happiness or calmness. That’s why bad news tends to stick with us longer, especially when it includes graphic details or images.Most of the time, newspapers strive to adhere to rules when it comes to photographs: no detailed graphic images, no faking photos, and no using offensive or vulgar pictures in the article. These principles ensure respect for public sensibilities and uphold the integrity of journalistic content. By limiting the amount of distressing visuals, the print media helps cultivate a more balanced perspective of the world for readers.

But now (almost) everything is available online. On social media platforms, people often have the freedom to share images and information without any moderation or regulation. This means that photographs of accidents, floods, and any other event can be shared in great detail, sometimes without considering the impact it might have.
Even though ethical guidelines exist, there are instances where online content lacks discretion. As a result, graphic images can be shared rapidly across platforms, potentially reaching a wide audience without any filtering. This could lead to negative portrayal of events causing unnecessary harm or distress to individuals who come across them.
There are times whensocial mediausers may not verify the sources or authenticity of the images they share, potentially leading to the spread of misinformation or misleading content. But on the other hand, people also share wholesome content that uplifts and inspires. This includesheartwarming stories, positive affirmations, and feel-good images.Sometimes, we just need to see the good to remember that the world isn’t all bad.
