whats in the news?

On a day to day to day basis, I find myself gathering news about natural disasters, war, sex trafficking, famine, homicide, suicide, racism, police brutality and many other detrimental happenings in our world. It seems that this negativity we see all around us could be to blame for the massive increase in depression and suicide. While I see the value in giving accurate knowledge to the people, no matter how awful, in order to come to terms and even find solutions for our countless problems, it does seem to be that most of our news is pessimisic and can be discouraging and overwhelming.
