Question

So i ran out of chars. Im sick of the press, sick to death, but they are the ones i feel are ill. I would buy a paper, that contained stories about puppies. and people atempting silly world records, and generous people supporting charaties.... I dont need any more boobs, or guns or violence, or rape or murder, or war, nothing i can do about it, least enough just by reading about it, or voting......

Would any of you part with 30p for a paper full of the nice stuff going on in the country ? Or am I alone

Notes. why cant their be a shoot a journalist day.

Answer 1

The media are responsible for the widely held perception that our society has gone to the dogs and that people no longer hold values such as respect, friendship and loyalty anymore. However, the perception that peodophiles live on every street and that any young person in a hoody will rape/mug/murder/assault you is wrong but because people only read about these issues they feel helpless and isolated within their own communities.

In fact its suggested by a research that actually our core values are still held by the majority and in particular by the majority of young people in society. In 2002 there was a survey carried out by Halstead & Taylor looking into the values of children aged between 11 and 18. They questioned 24000 children across the UK and looked at attitudes to everything from shoplifting to health and sexual practices and the influences on children’s moral decision making. They found that 85% disapproved of shoplifting, 65% disapproved of graffiti writing and 63% disapproved of playing truant. Like wise in relation to drugs and solvent abuse most disapproved of glue sniffing, taking drugs in any form and even smoking. However only 22% disapproved of drinking. They also looked into research that was undertaken prior to their own that looked into young peoples perception of social values and what importance they put on them. It concluded that the value of respect was the most important to young people with democracy and fairness coming second and third.

So yes I would pay to read a paper that gave a balanced view on society and what goes on within it.

Answer 2

Shoot a journalist day - what a pleasant thought. Although I don't think the thousands of journalists out there (including me) would agree.
Simple fact: there is death and destruction in the paper because that is what happens in the real world and no amount of looking out with rose-tinted glasses will change that.
But it's not all doom and gloom.
Contrary to popular belief we do try to keep a balance in the newspapers - so yes you will get bad news but you will also get puppies, charity and silly world record attempts.
If you don't like bad news quite simply don't buy a newspaper.

Answer 3

Yes I would. I'm not a boring old prude or a woman hater but why are semi naked women and naked breasts splattered on most pages? And no it's not because it's mostly men who read the paper because it's rubbish. Also you go to a newsagents with your kids and it's shoved in their faces. I think it's all done in bad taste (including magazines). They are also full of boring stuff about Z list celebrities and their love lives. Who gives a monkies? I've stopped buying papers now and even watching the news. I've got better things to do that don't make me feel depressed!

Answer 4

It's not a journalists fault!
Bad news are a business and you'd be surprised how easy it is to learn the formula and go along with it.
But they did start a good news newspaper in the states about 15years ago (I remember my school teacher telling us about it) and people didn't take! They didn't want good news all the time, they didn't want to as they felt excluded from the "real" world. Isn't is sad? It's true though, you're more interested in the train crash that happened rather than the account of someone's happy train journey. Try reading books more often, I find it helps

Answer 6

I'm with you. I'd pay a pound to read some good news and kindness shown! There are a few people in the world who try and spread a little kindness around. I'm one of them. I'd like to hear some good things for a change. The TV Newspeople and the Newspaper spread doom and gloom. I like to be informed but the bad stuff is by far outweighing the good!

Answer 7

Nobody wants to buy a completely happy paper. Sure, it would be nice to think the world could happen like that, but the fact is that too many people simply want to know about "the interesting stuff" i.e., the blodd and death and wars. I mean, what sells better, James Bond, or My Little Pony? Sure it'd be nice, but I dont think that it would float as a business.

Answer 8

I'm on both sides here. I think the newspaper should have a lot of positive things in it. But if we don't know the bad things that are out there, how can we change them into positives? We can't just ignore the bad stuff. Maybe the reporters could put solutions to the problems in with the bad articles. Or they could leave that up to the readers to send in solutions.

Answer 9

I had this discussion with my English teacher/former newspaper reporter.

She had been a reporter for a newspaper, and had recieved a complaint about how dark and disturbing the newspaper articles were. She then went and counted the number of "bad" articles, and "good" articles, and discovered that the majority were "good" articles! It is the bad ones that stick in our mind!

The complainer then made a paper that had only "good" articles... and it lasted about 6 months.

Answer 10

Yes, I think that would be a refreshing change. There would be plenty of papers out there still for those who love reading about blood and gore, but give those of us who don't an opportunity to have something decent to read.
