News sensationalism is a bad thing for all news outlets. I hate when reporters try to make nothing into something by sensationalizing. It is something that we must face now though, since our society is growing accustomed to 24 hour news outlets and the Internet. With each of those outlets, you constantly have a space to fill, so on slow days, you have to start making your own news. I think that the bigger problem we need to look at it how much news do we really need. Also, we need to start making the news more efficient and to make it better since so many people seem to have a problem with the way it is represented. A lot of people are complaining about news now, so we need to do more research to figure out what is working and what is not.
I see stories get sensationalized so often, that I do not even pay attention to it anymore. If I see a story like something almost happened, then I don't pay attention and I know that it must be a slow news day.
