The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began ea

21、s is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking peoples e-mails and online posts, scientists have

22、found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories. “The if it bleeds rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling.
