Unfortunately, there is still no shortage of bad news in the world today and it is often said that bad news sells, whereas good news does not The media is made up, predominantly, of commercial organisations which all need to make a profit It is no surprise therefore that they should publish the kind of news which sells best To expect commercial organisations to act against their own financial interests would be naive In addition, how many of us would be happy to learn that some piece of bad news had been held back from us? In such a case, we would surely complain that important IELTS-PRACTICE-TESTS.com information had not been passed on The abundance of bad news in the world, and correspondingly in the press, does not mean however that there is no place for good news To paint an accurate picture of what is happening in the world must surely involve the inclusion of some good news, and we can see in the quality press that good news, as well as bad, is indeed reported This good news provides reassurance for us and encourages us to keep striving for a better world It is of course good to hear good news but it does not have the same urgency as bad news Bad news may affect the stability of our lives It often has a greater impact on our lives Accordingly, it can be argued that bad news should take priority over good news While it may seem at first glance that there is far too much bad news reported in the press, on closer IELTS-PRACTICE-TESTS.com consideration this imbalance is probably both unsurprising and necessary for the survival of the media, and for our own survival We cannot therefore conclude that there is too much bad news reported © IELTS-PRACTICE-TESTS.com , All Rights Reserved This content is for your ow n individua l study only You ca nnot sha re or tra nsm it it Non com plia nce could result in lega l a ction a ga inst you
