We must remind ourselves that the news is not authentic life. The news is mediated by the sponsors, the corporate owners, the anchors (and their chit chat and fashion statements), the reporters who stand in front of the very news they report and give the actual participants a sentence and then have to interpret that for us, and then trim it down to sound and video bites and then add commentary. The news is news, weather and sports, crime and punishment, and hardly a minute for the arts. The news is not authentic life.
You are authentic life whether anyone notices or not. The real news is your dreams, your decisions, your generosity, your compassion, your relationships, your values, your impact on the world.
