How much influence do you believe a news story or article has on the reader and why?

i believe it has a lot of influence depending on what its talking about like a news story if its talking about something then can not just effect one person but everybody including me then this would have a influence for some readers to help fix the problem like recycling it effects every one so this would have a impact on some readers and influence them to want to help
