The idea that the media should report on positive events more frequently has been brought forward by many individuals. Contrary to the opposing viewpoint, I hold a supportive position.
First and foremost, a greater proportion of encouraging media coverage can diminish the likelihood of "copycat” crimes and suicides. Constant crime cases, rather than events featuring good news, can occasionally give criminals a popularity and induce regular people to commit crimes they otherwise would not think of. Therefore, extensive and widely disseminated negative news reporting may result in a rise in crimes that are in similar manner. As a result, there is a pressing need for increased reporting that contains message of optimism due to the amplifying effect such messages have on the crime rate.
Even more importantly, sharing positive news boosts morale in the community. Undoubtedly, it is a credible reason that reports concerning crimes and accidents can remind people of the threats and so prevent them from being victimized. In contrast to how beautiful stories make people feel that they live in a society where justice, love, and equality are respected, this increases the likelihood that citizens will feel isolated from one another. In this manner, a strong faith in governments, authorities, and individuals in the surrounding area can be cultivated. For instance, more individuals might drop their guard against strangers and offer assistance, as opposed to regarding the difficulties of others as scams. Only with such faith can society remain functional and sustain a healthy way of life.
In conclusion, sufficient time and space should be reserved for positive news due to its positive impact on both the crime rate and social confidence.
