Limit the amount of News Broadcasts for the sake of the Nations Mental Health
Call for a review on why it is deemed necessary to have news every half hour on the radio in particular. Also, why is only negative news deemed news. Why is there no balance?
I believe the amount and frequency of negative news is out of proportion with what is necessary. I believe it is having a detrimental effect on the Nation’s Mental Health and it spreads fear mongering.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions related to which news to report and the frequency of reporting are not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.
