'If it bleeds it leads' isn't just a mantra for tabloid editors anymore. It's a fundamental commercial reality for the media industry. A recent study of 23 million headlines from 47 popular news outlets showed that in the last two decades the share of headlines denoting anger increased by 104% and the share evoking fear surged by 150%.
What this shows is that it's not just your imagination. The news really has become more negative. It's making us all feel grim about the present, and hopeless about the future. Pessimism is so deeply ingrained in our media culture that it’s become the default frame imposed on all our realities. It’s not breaking news anymore. It’s broken news.
This newsletter, originally known as Future Crunch, was founded on the simple idea that another form of journalism is possible. For the past nine years, we’ve made the case that the news can delight and inspire, and our 60,000 readers are evidence that there’s a genuine market for this kind of content.
