You’ve probably heard the term “news” before. It’s an interesting concept, but how do you classify news sources? Is it Good, Bad, Extreme, or Educational? These are just some of the questions you should ask yourself before you sit down to watch the news. I’ve listed some of the top news sources in the world below. You may even want to try an experiment and classify news sources yourself! What’s in a headline?
Good
The Good news is a gift from God. Everyone needs to be saved from their sins, so God sent his son Jesus to save us. All that we need to do to receive salvation is accept Jesus as Lord and repent. Whether we realize it or not, we need to hear this message in order to become saved. Listed below are some benefits of accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you have not yet believed in Jesus, please consider becoming a Christian.
Bad
It seems like bad in the news is the norm these days. While it may be tempting to wish that things were different, bad news has become the norm in recent years. And although this may make many people think about happier times, we can’t ignore the fact that we’re still surrounded by bad news, even if it’s fake. Fortunately, there is a way to combat the news cycle by educating ourselves about what is bad in the world and how it can be better.
Extreme
The increasing animosity between political groups thwarts consensual democracy. Most people feel attached to their political group and interpret the world around them with an us-versus-them logic. Exposure to counter-attitude information increases participants’ negative feelings toward members of the “out” group. Although the in/out distinction is clear for those who are politically committed to their group, exposure to extreme news sites increases participants’ negative attitudes toward out-group members.
Educational
Teachers need to know what’s going on in the world of education. They should be well-informed about the laws that govern education. They need to understand who makes these laws and how they impact education. The best way to stay abreast of the latest educational news is to follow the Education Week blog. Ferlazzo shares the best and worst educational news of the past decade. You’ll be surprised to see how many stories about education are actually positive.
Advertising
The newest research on advertising in news proves that the best ads are those that are contextual. According to the new Panorama of Advertising Statistics from the Alliance of News Media advertisers, 46 percent of consumers prefer to see coupons in print newspapers than online, and the newspaper audience consistently engages with retail ads. In fact, it’s not surprising that the audience of news media is more likely to buy than the average U.S. adult. But how does a brand make its way into the news? Here’s how to succeed with news-based advertising.
