Why Breaking News?

The News Channels, these days have metamorphosed into everything except news narration. They invite speakers who are prodded to get into futile arguments, improper accusations, irrelevant discussions etc. The news narration is exceptionally dramatic for increasing the TRPs and viewership. The diversification of types of news channel based on language and state has further provided so many versions of the actual truth. Even the usual soaps have started to drown in their own froth (read masala). No wonder, everybody these days have now started to focus on outdoor activities or fun filled indoor games. 

It is exactly this desire of doing activities that bring happiness and contentment to oneself, communication and bonding with others; which point to the fact that humans would rather be in a happy normal situation rather than a dramatized one. 

I am sure the social networking shares and youtube videos that are most watched are the ones that inspire you or make you happy. Who would like to watch videos depicting cruelty, bloodshed, killings, etc ? Even the existing ghastly videos come with a blurred spot or a statutory warning.

So then why do the news channel not follow suit ? Why do they make us watch 'Breaking News' instead of 'Binding News - News that Bind people' or 'Happy News - News that cheers'? Human brain tends to remember the good memories of ones life and that itself is enough to keep it on track for betterment and contentment, in general. I am sure that if people get to watch the good deeds and acts of others, they will tend to try out the same; instead of focusing on the bad deeds. It is as simple as saying 'Do this' instead of saying 'Don't Do This'.

Lets try to keep one channel dedicated to the concept of display of good deeds by citizens and then let us observe the difference that it makes.
