To begin with, there are two types of media, the print and the electronic. The print media informs society through newspapers, magazines, and books. Electronic media publicly broadcasts news through radio, television, and computers.

However, both Medias inform us on day-to-day events whether the news is local or worldwide but they have their differences. Through media our opinions are influenced and we become socialized.

The electronic media gives an emotional impact on viewers by showing updated news in action. Journalists receive information during crisis minute by minute allowing them to quickly revise and deliver news to the public.

Thus, the print media would have to wait until the next copy was printed for everyone to get the most recent news. By doing this, the newspapers leave a gap of information that electronic media has the capability to fill. Television shows people what has happened and what they are about to see.

Even though print media seems to be factual and thorough enough, some still feel more partial to the nightly news on television. The print media goes in depth with their coverage where electronic media is straight-forward and only highlights the main topics.

To start with bad news tends to travel faster than good news because many members of society are intrigued by negative news, and many are interested in hearing about the tragedies, hardships and failures of others.

On the one hand, citizens may be more likely to share good news with select friends and family members.

On the other hand, they may share bad, exiting news with anyone. The modern fascination with social media allows people to share negative information and swap disaster stories, and social media platforms permit all kinds of bad news to grow to viral proportions rather quickly.

In brief, there is no guarantee that bad news will always get around faster than good news, it is more likely to occur when people are bored and seeking some excitement.
