As described in Public Safety & Risk Assessment - Improving Decision Making David J Ball & Laurence Ball-King ISBN 978-1-84971-381-8

 

Subjectivity & objectivity p28

 

Availability of images can have a significant and unreasonably biased impact upon the objectivity of risk awareness.

 

"...If you have experienced directly, or even indirectly through a recent news story or even a Hollywood film, some memorable accident, you will be inclined to rate the probability of a reoccurrence as higher than it actually is..."

 

Good news story = a likely increase in paranoia !
