It is true that editors have to make difficult decisions about which news stories they
broadcast or publish, and their choices are no doubt influenced by a variety of factors. In
my opinion, we are exposed to too much bad news, and I would welcome a greater
emphasis on good news.
Editors face a range of considerations when deciding what news stories to focus on.
Firstly, I imagine that they have to consider whether viewers or readers will be interested
enough to choose their television channel or their newspaper over competing providers.
Secondly, news editors have a responsibility to inform the public about important events
and issues, and they should therefore prioritise stories that are in the public interest.
Finally, editors are probably under some pressure from the owners who employ them. For
example, a newspaper owner might have particular political views that he or she wants to
promote.
It seems to me that people do become accustomed to negative news. We are exposed on
urush, jinoyatchilik, tabiiy ofatlar va fojiali insoniy azob-uqubatlar haqidagi hikoyalarga har kuni asos
dunyo bo’ylab. Ishonamanki, bunday takroriy ta’sir odamlarni asta-sekin desensitizatsiya qiladi,
va biz dunyoga nisbatan beadabroq bo’lamiz va hamma narsani qila olishimizga shubha qilamiz
uni o’zgartirish uchun. Men ko’proq ijobiy yangiliklarni ko’rishni afzal ko’raman, masalan, ish haqidagi hisobotlar
tabiiy ofatdan keyin tibbiyot xodimlari yoki ularga yordam beradigan ko’ngillilarning mehribonligi
jamoalar. Bunday yangiliklar barchamizni yaxshi hayot kechirishga ilhomlantirishi mumkin.
Xulosa qilib aytganda, muharrirlar uchun qaysi yangiliklarni tanlash juda qiyin bo’lishi kerak
hozir, lekin men ushbu muhim davlat xizmatiga yanada ijobiy yondashuvni ko’rmoqchiman.
