What news actually effects you? I’m not speaking about the news that makes you feel a certain way during a day but changes that day almost entirely. Of course weather news has a direct effect on us unless we leave in a strong bubble or live underground. Economic news can also have an impact if our office must cut back or suddenly has a new position for hire. This type of news can also impact the prices we pay at the pump and the grocery store. We can feel good when our sports team wins the big game or our favorite star wins an award but the true effect on our life’s is just emotional. We can mourn the death of a great leader but unless we worked with them the impact is just emotional as well. News hits us most when it’s closest to home yet many of us (including myself) can be glued to a story half away around the world with an animal that is far removed from us. I guess in the end we are a emotional creatures and although a story may not directly change the flow of the day it’s drain or gain on us can truly make or break that day.
