Thanks for the answer. OP eventually gave me an answer that was similar

I will say though, there is definitely an ethical conundrum of what the line is between reporting the news and "stoking fear". On the other end of that spectrum is pretending that everything is all good when there is rising crime. I'd like to think there is a middle ground between fear mongering and white washing

When some people tend to stay loyal to news outlets and only consume their news stories it can be detrimental to their well being in a way if it's all negative.

I'm not saying there has to be feel good stories about puppies being saved from a villain, but there are plenty of great things to report about in the community that are often overlooked.

I for one would rather read about why our community is successful and thriving!
