Hello folks,

I find watching the news quite upsetting. It's inherently biased and can paint a very grim picture of the world by only reporting the very worst things happening in society. At the same time, I also want to have a good sense of what's occurring in the world....including some positive things. Here's my question: has anyone found a way to stay informed without watching the nightly horror show that is "the news?" I should mention that I live with depression and also fall higher on the empathy scale...I am sometimes prone to negative empathy. I realize that some folks might watch the news and not feel overly troubled by it....this is just my own personal reaction.

Any ideas?
