Yet, as the German language recognizes with the word “Schadenfreudez”, we can experience joy at someone else’s sorrow, despite the questions it raises about our empathy. Vicarious experience brings catharsis, possibly helpful in a way. One other factor, however, intrudes on this picture: we tend to be more interested in bad or scandalous news than good.
