Note also whether the quality or value of the news is important and good, not just a momentary sensation (which is usually just a hoax).
5. Make changes for yourself and around
Sometimes people can only complain and demand, without making better changes that come from themselves. For those of you who are fed up with negative news in the media, this can be one of the right moments to make changes.
Move from the front of the TV, put the cellphone on, and join to volunteer or to a particular community to make small changes but the impact is great. Where action is more successful than just grumbling on social media without making the world better.
