How should we approach negative news in the media? A 'mindful' and 'harmonious' consumption of negative news by users might be an answer
R. Shabahang and R. Weber

This Perspective proposes adopting an agentic, mindful and harmonious approach to consuming negative news, arguing fixed exposure limits are impractical and urging further conceptual and empirical study. This research was conducted by Reza Shabahang and René Weber.
