Join us as Dr. Dan Bober unravels the psychology behind sensational reporting. Learn how to spot the difference between crafted narratives for public consumption and genuine news:
Understand the Selective Nature
Recognize when stories are being selectively presented to elicit a particular public reaction.
Question the Narrative
Ask yourself who benefits from the narrative and consider the potential impact on the individuals involved.
Preserve Human Dignity
Remember that behind each story there is a person – prioritize compassion over curiosity. With these points in mind, let’s become more critical consumers of media and protect our mental well-being from tabloid toxicity.
