We spend a lot of time here criticising journalists for their obsession with
bad news, but it’s also worth remembering that we, the audience, are just as
much to blame. The folks over at Visual Capitalist analysed the
most-searched-for news stories of 2023, and as you can see, the
doomscrolling is very real. The other thing this graph makes obvious is that
the English-language internet is dominated by the United States, which is
why all of us are forced to endure hundreds more stories about school
shootings than say, malaria vaccines or the Chinese diaspora in Thailand.
