For example,
“stories about newcomers falling in love with New York City”
he writes, tend to be shared more than “the death of a popular zookeeper”.
The difference between the two is due to the fact that the mass media prefers news that gets attention, while when you share a story with your friends “you care a lot more about how they react”,
Berger explained.
But does all the good news actually make the audience feel better? Not necessarily.
According to a study by researchers at Harvard University,
people tend to say more positive things about themselves when they're talking to a bigger audience, rather than just one person, which helps explain all the perfect vacations that keep showing up on microblogs. This, researchers found, makes people think that life is unfair and that they're less happy
than their “friends”.
