News has so much effect on us. It is not only about facts and information. It affects us and our lives and sometimes it effects the way of perceiving things. People watch news and read newspaper and believe whatever they are telling without knowing the credibility of correct information. Our minds have been set up that every news media shows is correct. Whenever media shows the news of bombing, sexual assaults and protests most of the people start having psychological distress. For instance 16 December 2014, APS attack. Almost everyone went into trauma because of this miserable event. Everyone experienced grief, sadness, anger and fear.
