Here's my data analysis justifying Dobelli's thesis: How Media Fuels our Fear of Western Terrorism https://www.nemil.com/s/part2-terrorism.html https://www.nemil.com/s/part2-terrorism.html The deaths that are most covered are a tiny fraction (<1%) of the way we die https://www.nemil.com/s/part3-horror-films.html https://www.nemil.com/s/part3-horror-films.html There's also a fair bit of psychology research on how news coverage of vivid deaths increases PTSD, you can see one link in my first piece above. This coverage makes sense when you are focusing on newsworthiness and engagement — but is very flawed for good decision making.
