At What Point Is It Simply Too Much?

March 15, 2011 — 1 Comment

I know there is a need for news and information, but…

At what point is it simply enough?

At what point does the coverage transition from information providing to sensationalizing?

When is the need to know trumped by stepping back and letting people get help, recover, and grieve … in private?

Do I really need to know everything about everything?  And is that even possible or necessary?

Is this “need” simply a western-culture creation?  Does this level of information actually benefit me?

What is your take on this?

    Yeah I kinda see what you mean with this. This was a natural disaster but how much can change in a short space of time. On the news here it’s been fairly repetitive and no more information seems to be learnt.
