Too Much Media

When you’re scrolling through social media for way to many hours a day, you might have come to the realization that the amount of news that can fill up your screen can be “overwhelming”. These news apps and organizations do this on purpose, they try and gather all of your attention through multiple techniques. Recently there has been a lot of use through pathos in the news. For example when Kobe Bryant died or how China's population is suffering from the coronavirus. They can hold your attention for much longer if they appeal to your emotions and not just from a logistical standpoint.
