How to consume news without getting depressed | DW News

[@Planet_Cents]

Being one of the biggest news reporters, thank you for sharing with us the reality behind it! This shows how much they also care about their audience! Always been a follower of DW, and with the constant climate news, I think this is a great approach to spreading positivity. we will add this video to our playlist to keep inspiring! ~Team planet cents

There's always 4 sides to a Story... 1.The Victim 2.The Witnesses 3.The Suspect and and 4.The "TRUTH"

It’s easy to be disillusioned with how messed up the world is

[@graceydez6199]

It is. I try to also look for good news. Today it was a really good candidate for room and ambient temperature super conductor. Its fairly easy to replicate and if it turns out to be true, will fairly rapidly change the world for the better.

[@dayegilharno4988]

The best strategy imho is to understand how all the data points that are thrown at us are interconnected, to lower the alarm level... But that takes a fair bit of media consumption on a regular base, and most media are not designed to connect the dots for you. Really having some discipline with one's media diet might be the only way to go until that changes.

[@WMAlbers1]

The News should also include GOOD news instead of mostly BAD news.

[@EthanESaenz]

Good gods, yes! I want to stay informed but everything is so negative and depressing that I rather now avoid news feeds. DW News is one of the few broadcasters I follow lately and even then I just get engaged for short periods of time.

[@EvonneLindiwe]

It’s really affected me.. and I get really down.. climate .. human rights .. everything. But I’m trying to filter

[@rickdworsky6457]

So are you suggesting that we should all just retreat totally into lunatic la la land, to fix everything...? and we'll all be eating imaginary diamonds growing on imaginary trees forever, right? Sounds like you took a big dose of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

[@EvonneLindiwe]

@@rickdworsky6457 calm down. No one has suggested anything... You might be on LCD not me. Clearly your ability to discern suggestions and feelings is lacking.

[@Man.from.the.90sgeneration]

Idk if you guys remember that TV news used to be more optimistic

[@joe.oneill]

You left out the most important tip. Look at different sources to compare reporting of stories. Doing so will expose the ones that only tell the parts of the story that suits their agenda. Those are the outlets you'll want to avoid. There are outlets out there, like DW, who give the full stories. You'll feel much better leaving the FOXs & MSNBCs, etc. behind.

[@hhwippedcream]

This is SOOO needed. Thank you DW for being reflective and for providing this content. Hats off to those who pitched this story. Critical thinking and conscious consumption only get one so far in the current climate. Pun not intended. Appreciate the message.

[@balsarmy]

Closing eyes isn't right. People must do more to be strong and change the world for better❤

[@TrixiLovesYou]

I took a break from following the news for a week and never felt better. I advise everyone to just not tune in to any news sources, do your thing and you'll feel better really fast. And do I really have to mention social media which is just there to make you feel miserable?

[@emwhaibee]

Meh. Just as xtina lopes said "Just lean into it". Whatever emotion comes up I accept and release, all are welcome in the perceived reality. I am way stronger now that I was say 13 to *20 years ago, I CAN TAKE IT WITHOUT ANYTHING CLINGING ONTO ME TO WEIGH ME DOWN OR LEAD ME TO DARK PLACES IN MY HEAD.

[@marksherrill9337]

I was thinking there is good reason so many people have checked out.

[@oldsteamguy]

It is bold of a news channel to criticize news. Well done DW!

[@tristanboyle4450]

a particular segment of Japanese international news has lots of positive stories!!

[@andymcnair1593]

Think the advent of 24hr news was the start of the decline of journalism. Writing before thinking.

[@tomlineberger]

I agree 100% Vielen Dank, for your reporting!! I like to hear positive news when I wake up in the morning!!

[@MorningNapalm]

I have no strategy to stay informed without losing hope. With Corona (from China), the war on Ukraine and China threatening its neighbours in south-east Asia, as well as Putin's nuclear threats, and on top of all of this, the massive rise in prices across Europe and much of the world, rising housing costs, increasingly troublesome politics surrounding migration, and environmental destruction, increasing influence of money over politics, I really don't see how anyone can feel positive these days.

[@rickdworsky6457]

It wasn't China, Covid came from the wild, through a Blood Market. Now you can really start worrying, because the world isn't going vegan anytime soon.

[@balsarmy]

You must not feel positive, use your free will to change world, make it better. ❤

[@hildormuthafo]

More positive news, or at least solution focused as you mentioned.

[@PaulZeeX]

This is heading in a good direction: however a "solutions focused" framing is arguably as problematic as "problem focused". I'm not sure "positivist" framings help either: both "solution" and "positivist" framings have arguably contributed to our lethargic movement on climate action and have set us all us up for our collective failure to respond to shared crisis with the needed shared focus. Part of the problem with taking a solution focus is that we over-hype single-point solutions that ultimately aren't viable - certainly not in isolation, nor without careful cross-coordination - , and we pour our preciously scarce time, energy and resources into them. Instead, we need holistic, balanced systems-thinking-based approaches independent of specific solutions. To be fair, DW reporting generally does a good job of presenting a balanced systems thinking perspective, and sometimes addresses holstic multi-faceted solutions. Case in point: we collectively run a very significant risk of investing huge time and energy into "Green" hydrogen as a standalone solution: yet that solution at scale is riddled with significant problematic secondary effects that aren't being realistically discussed and addressed. The effort spent chasing Green hydrogen as a solution detracts from other potential opportunities. So ... I think there are better framings that strike the right balance, and I like Sean Woods comment late in the piece about focusing on opportunity. Opportunity-focused, whole systems journalism is arguably a more elastic and sustainable journalistic goal - at least with respect to the climate crisis.

[@madcow3417]

What people say they want and what they actually click on are two different things.

[@TheIcthyosaur]

This was a welcomed clip. Many people I have come across have said the same thing. I've actually limited my feeds to just a few, but I know longer check all the news everday. I even make use if filters where ever I can.

[@zwzau]

Thank you. This is very helpful and practical.

[@farrider3339]

I prefer a report on : How to stay cool ? while hearing and seeing the news and other talks

[@rickdworsky6457]

fix the situation and we can all be cool again. Start here: Go Vegan

[@farrider3339]

@@rickdworsky6457 90% vegan here. Dairy products in chocolata only. Doesn't work. World still mad 😂

[@Erth]

Great article and thanks for giving me tips to stay informed and solution focused!

[@ethimself5064]

This is why I stopped watching news from North America and still watch News on DW. Many things on DW of great importance is missing although I find elsewhere. In short DW is my mainstay news outlet

[@robertskolimowski7049]

Really? I'm truly disappointed DW, naturally there're only so many good positive developments to go around, so tbf u didn't offer any valuable solution actually, your video seems to be suggesting we should stop presenting (or viewers - watching) those not so positive (sometimes tragic) news, and while - I agree - can be depressing, surely we must still report on/watch them, no?

[@extrastout1741]

What an awesome topic! I do just isolate myself cause I don't want to end up angry

[@ashutoshsaini2978]

Frankly speaking The truth is that It's sad but it's Truth

[@Arulane]

Very good piece. Thank you! I would love more about solutions from the press, just like I want more and better solutions from government, rather than made up problems for clicks.

[@kajsahakansson9092]

Thank you! ❤

[@harrycallahan6623]

It will help if media put out some positive news. Instead of usual wildfires, riots, Sudan, Ukraine etc.

[@Interactive-gp8xf]

You personally don’t care about the world, the world doesn’t care about your pet well-being 😡👎🏼

[@BicycleFunk]

Well I think along side the news we need to see, it would be good to see news about how people are counteracting the conflict. I would be really depressed if news agencies only reported happy things when there is suffering occurring.

[@gfys756]

Stop worrying about corporate and state media and go outside. Live your life. No point getting depressed about things you cant change.

[@deletevil]

This is the best comment.

[@gamlerik1]

Yes! Beautiful!

[@ferydounfareed6930]

Well said !

[@MrSean03839]

No, it's hopeless. Everything has always been this corrupt, difference today is you hear about a lot more of all the corruption.

[@martinklawinski2933]

Just don't consume it.

[@rickdworsky6457]

When caught under an avalanche, just ignore the stones? The Death Cult is completely insane.

[@cressida00]

Its a choice. Choosing to feel depressed about the news is a choice. I watch the news constantly, and I am not depressed. I love life, and feel confident about the future.

[@AAT305]

Take the news with a big grain of salt. It's highly manupilated by the government and social media. The real world on the ground is very different and there is not much to worry about.

[@rickdworsky6457]

wow, talk about lost in fantasy and denial! pitiful, weak and shameful. subhuman.

[@jakobthelibrarycard6261]

There's a world of diference between being positive and disillusioned.

Since I gave up on humanity, I don't get depressed anymore. This planet has no future. Technology without wisdom, is a death sentence. At some point, they'll nuke each other to oblivion.

Step 1: Shut down your TV and disconnect from the internet. Step 2: Follow Step 1, and only then you truly live your own life.

[@rickdworsky6457]

how can you live when you don't know what's going on around you? maybe it's a big bad deadly cataclysmic climate change "thing" huh? then what are you going to do? oh, just la la la? yeah, that's why humans are facing EXTINCTION.

[@tag7592]

Then, be useful and productive.

[@nathancortes3722]

I would suggest keeping away from the woke news, such as DW -- Deutsche Woke -- and other such channels.

[@billyponsonby]

So I should probably give up Fox News?

[@filipecoutinho5706]

DW news going bud light mode ? No but seriously, Netfix series and such tend to be way more depressive and brain washy ... 😢

[@viveviveka2651]

The callenge is to find better things to do with time and life.

I stick with DW and for work Bloomberg terminal, that's enough for me

[@nigellanjuat3294]

Yeah that's what is the difference 😢

[@Rashidiill]

My comment: I am also suffering with this news anxiety however i thought i am the only one, now i know there are many. just add my point the worst of all is KZbin algorithim. when you watch something negative it bombards you with that even when you dont want to see it. Internet is just like any other inventions all we need is a user mannual just like we have for washing machine.

I watch one bad news and many informative video , relaxing video and other to balance ⚖️ it.

Are cryptocurrency and business incompatible? I think youre not keeping up with the news. While you thought it was impossible, some enthusiasts from Cannafarm Ltd integrated cryptocurrency into the production of medical cannabis. What do you say now?

Genesis 6:5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time. And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

[@farrider3339]

Then the lord sent rain where it wasn't needed and drafts where these weren't needed. All this to demonstrate his love for his creation and the despair the crestion caused for him. In other words : the Lord behaved like preschool kid AMEN

Wait, do you think cryptocurrency will crash? I dont think so. More and more companies are integrating cryptocurrency into their operations: Amazon, Cannafarm Ltd, Burger King, even Starbucks, dude!

I'm fine. Bad news heals my heart. Keep going DW. If you get tired of bad news, go watch tech news. Not all but many are good stories.

[@Anorch-oy9jk]

Just use sarcasm. It helps. I stopped believing anything in the news. I just live and somethings I just randomly leave comments out of fun with a smile in my face. All news channels cause mental issues. Even this one. So just leave an emoji and laugh at them 😂.

More and more companies are integrating cryptocurrency into their operations. Its actually interesting because it opens the door to investments. I would say its the new financial future. I recently started collaborating with Cannafarm Ltd, and it seems
