Establish a definition of news (perhaps “information useful to citizens who want to maintain/improve our democracy”). View a national network news program. List the stories. How long was each? How many stories fit the definition? How did each story make you feel? How many of the stories caused you to feel anxious? How many were “mayhem” (murders, disasters, typhoons, floods, tornadoes, repeat stories about older mayhem stories, etc.)? How many of these mayhem stories would actually be useful to the average person?
