WELCOME!
Thanks for stopping by The Clark Blog!
We will talk about everything from the news of the day, to random thoughts.  This is not a one-way conversation…I invite you to give me your thoughts on things I blog about, and things I don’t.  No topic is off limits!

BTW…disagreement is part of the game. But, please keep it clean. This is an all ages show!

Viewers have “bad news fatigue”
Posted on 03/09 at 08:41 PM.

I see it…hear it..and talk about it everday.  They say no news is good news.  I’ve got news.  Problem is…most of it is bad.

There are concerns in local newsrooms about viewers developing “bad news fatigue” and how to balance newscasts.

Uplifting stories have been hard to come by thanks to the current economy.  Add to it the deaths and crimes and news today can be downright depressing.

What to do?
