Why exactly do we need the News for? It has become a constant part of our daily lives we have learned to live with , but why do we need the news? Why do I need the news?, if others (the World ) consumed the news the way we did it would be catastrophic ,News is usually regional , for instance in US there are community news networks , when something in a county happens its stays within that county , it's not sent to the whole of the united state , bad things happen everyday , why should I be in Abeokuta and you tell me about a man that killed and buried a girl In a Kaduna village ? Or two boys who beheaded his girlfriend in Enugu?
News should be regionalized , the way we consume the News is Mentally unhealthy , I still wonder why we need the news (this sneaky bastard) of course the if you fish for bad news which is good news you will find them,plenty in fact, bad things happen everyday its been happening from time , arresting 2 kidnappers today would not stop two other kidnappers tomorrow so why tell me they were arrested?
People actually feed off this ,I mean they are people whose work is to literally find news by any means nessesary
So why take the news seriously ?
What is the essence of this news apart from bad news ?

FTC. I hope this gets to front page.

I teach journalism at university level, so take this from me: Journalism is now more than ever entrepreneurial. The news writers don't need the news as much as they need you the customer/consumer. That you find most news stories unhealthy and lacking resolution wouldn't make them any less profitable to its traders.
