People use media on daily basis, primarily to get informed about everyday events and news, as well as for communication. It is well known that people are more prone to focus on the negative events in their lives such as embarrassing moments or affairs that invoked fear or anger, also focusing on the negative news they see or hear using some media. This phenomenon is called negativity bias. With technology developing on daily basis, the usage of the Internet has increased immensely and it includes the rise of negativity bias, as seen in numerous news portals providing an extensive number of negative news day in day out, to social media sites sharing that news or spreading negativity in general through posts, comments and messages. Various research suggests that people of different age groups react disparately considering negativity bias, as well as considering its capability of having an impact on creating one’s political ideology. It is also claimed that people of different cultures have a different reaction to negativity. The aim of this research paper is to analyse the variety of negativity bias on the Internet through news portals and social media sites together with pointing out the language used in news transmission.
