For centuries, until the industrial revolution, the spread of news was based on the oral tradition of gossip: indiscreet and whispered voices that captured attention and amazement, telling the “facts” of the others. With the advent of industrialization and technologies, so from the printed paper onwards, gossip has taken on ever-increasing dimensions to the point of crossing the borders of nations and continents.

To ensure circulation, audience or visualization, the mass media seem to establish a continuous race in search of what “make the news”, up to the spectacularization of pain which, on one side, attract attention, but on the other side fill the society with cruel and bloody images, making people used to suffering, till they diminish it.
