TV News

When thinking about news in general, I can't help but notice how there has been this movement towards flashy entertainment. Some news channels seem to play-up everything to be bigger than it really is, attempting to catch the attention of viewers. I suppose if news is more entertaining, there is a greater likelihood of attracting more viewers. However, I think some stations lose sight of the importance of presenting good news and try too hard to be showy. Some news commercials seem to be over the top, and have cheesy special effects.

I don't really watch the news that often on my own. The only time I see it is when someone else has it on or when flipping through channels. I think that if these various news stations offered better quality information in a less dramatic way, I'd be more likely to watch. When I feel like when the news is reaching too far for stories that don't mean much or add too much hype to stories, it simply turns me away.
