Recommendation: Take a look at and a listen to these two videos (1:30 and 1:44) of U.S. Presidents responding to hecklers. There are many more examples. Which (type of) response does more good, more harm? Why?
Something to Consider: What draws you to engage with and stay with a (news) story? Is it an image? A headline? The promise of conflict? A desire for civility or eloquence. A longing to learn? Something else? Does the nature of your engagement generally do you more good or more harm?
