News is a powerful force in daily life, and new analyses show how we can stay informed without harming our mental health. Research from Monash University and Flinders University suggests that mindful engagement with media can protect well-being in Thailand and beyond.

In Thailand, mobile internet access means news flows through multiple channels—at home, work, and community spaces. For many families, staying informed is tied to civic duty and safety, making mindful engagement essential rather than optional.
