The News is Horrible...How can we manage it all?

I've been so stricken by the violence and death in the news...it seems that is the only thing on the broadcasts anymore, save for the weather. My heart breaks for the victims, for the families of such horrible acts of humanity. I seem to take it to a place in me that has some staying power...I still remember people from news events 3+ years ago.

I'd like to know the "what's happenenings" of the global community but I am having a hard time managing with all the terrible stories in the news. They are just terrible. I'm not sure what to do.

..."dumping my junk" will maybe help for now. Any ideas???
Thank you
