Do you ever feel overwhelmed and powerless after watching the news? Does it make you feel sad about the world, without much hope for its future? Take a breath - the world is not as bad as the headlines would have you believe. In You Are What You Read, campaigner and researcher Jodie Jackson helps us understand how our current twenty-four-hour news cycle is produced, who decides what stories are selected, why the news is mostly negative and what effect this has on us as individuals and as a society. Combining the latest research from psychology, sociology and the media, she builds a powerful case for including solutions in our news narrative as an antidote to the negativity bias.

In her book, positive psychologist Jackson points out six effective ways we can change our media diet in a way that will help us become more informed, engaged and empowered, with positive effects on our mental health as well:
Become a conscious consumer
Read/watch good-quality journalism
Burst your filter bubble
Be prepared to pay for content
Read beyond the news
Read solutions-focused news.
She shows many examples of how news misled people, false facts were presented, and news channels became entertainment shows with influencing anchormen and women. Jackson draws on well-known psychological research on anchoring, biases, and fact-checkers. We choose what news we will consume. Let's be careful because like what food is for the body, information is to the minds and souls. The book is provoking, yet accessible. Jackson provides an online starter's kit with news resources to broaden your horizon. ( )
