Re: A brief vent
(Anonymous) 2023-06-26 11:08 am (UTC)(link)I feel like the idea of finding certain news stories exciting or entertaining is a mixed bag. It's certainly a way to engage with the news, but is it always healthy? And what are the implications of the types of stories we find entertaining? I have asked these questions a fair amount in my time pursuing media analysis as a hobby/passion, and the sub story is an example of these questions in action.
Myself, I stayed away from both news stories and aimed to signal boost other topics that were less sad but still engaging, like lawyers in NYC getting fined for using ChatGPT in briefings. I did this instead of focusing on the sub because not only did I find sub-related schadenfruede somewhat hypocritical I also wanted to keep my news finding skills sharp. I think we can all benefit from developing habits of not always latching onto the most popular news stories. In my opinion, a balance between staying informed and being entertained is both possible and necessary.
