I saw a comment this morning lamenting the imbalance of positive and negative news content that we are given.
There are scientific studies (Negativity drives online news consumption) that show this type of content generates higher engagement. So whether news organisations are aware of their editorial direction or not, the clicks that drive the content they publish push them into this space.
I am not suggesting we stop discussing the important serious issues of the day.
Though, I will be actively trying to share more positive articles with you all going forward and I encourage you to join me.
I read somewhere, that the solution is to follow all issues to the door. Discuss them when they are an issue, and then again when they are resolved.
I don’t see how that relates to a door… Trying to figure out the metaphor, but I guess I just don’t get it.
I’m pretty sure crossing the threshold = the resolution. So “follow all issues to the door” means paying attention when the issue is resolved. Things generally don’t get as much attention during the follow-up as they do during the initial shock of it.
Yea, my bad, it’s an expression in Danish, I thought it existed in English as well
