A study using AllSides Media Bias Ratings™ shows an increase in news negativity. We summarize the findings here --
, “An important question raised by this work is whether the sentiment and emotionality embedded in news media headlines reflect a wider societal mood or if instead they just reflect the sentiment and emotionality prevalent or pushed by those creating news content. Financial incentives to maximize click-through ratios could be at play in increasing the sentiment polarity and emotional charge of headlines over time.
It’s also worth noting that while the research found outlets on the left and right are more emotional, AllSides also considered emotionality when rating the outlets. More emotional outlets are typically rated on the left or right to begin with, so this research seems to underscore that connection. As the media becomes more negative and emotional, it’s important to get multiple angles on the news. This can help you to put stories into perspective and decide for yourself whether something truly incites anger, sadness, joy, or any other emotion — or if you’re just being told it should.
