i notice that a lot of people here are saying that you hear a lot of bad news because bad news sells. and that idea is one of those little truths that people just kinda know.
but since moving to portland 12 years ago, this place has changed, and the news has changed right along with it.
if i had moved to portland 2 years ago, i would be of the belief, too, that bad news sells. just sayin. i think that times are changing all over. we hear more frequently about bad things because there are more bad things to be heard about, along with the fact that the reporting of newsworthy events has become something of an instantaneous possibility. k, nuff sed.
