There's always a place for light-hearted Journalism - I doubt we could completely survive on serious news all the time. But do we have too much light-hearted journalism than is needed? Do we need more serious journalism implemented into the news stream? A lot of people may not want to hear it, but there is a lot we need to do for the world right now, and informing the people is vital. The more we know, the more we can do, There's no time to worry about unsettling people - unsettling people is what is needed to bring about the much needed paradigm shift this world is calling out for.
Environmental damage, mental health information, war and devious forms of politics should be the news we are reporting on - when high street bankers are caught to have taken the general public's earnings and used it for themselves, should we just be angry about this? Or should we put them in prison? By changing the point of view of the news industry, we can allow the change of opinion to happen across the world. Some countries are known for their more prominent usage of 'real' media, and report on real news stories which have been proved foolproof. Nations such as Finland, Switzerland and Iceland have been commended for their ability to keep themselves not only to themselves, but to keeping themselves innocent from any form of corruption - can the UK or the US say the same about their media?
What do you think?
