It seems coverage of World News is skewed towards only the negative. How about 'positive' news?
Written by admin on October 15th, 2008 in World News.
Do you have any news from your part of the world that dicusses 'positive' things happening over there? What country are you from and what is happening there? A community making strides towards educating its inhabitants? Someone making your day better? Whatever, it is, so long as it is diversion from all the negative news I hear all through the day, please share it with me.
There is a weekly paper printed in Williamsport, PA, called Grit. It has positive blurbs in it, not necessarily current events, but warm and fuzzy occurrences that make you feel better about the world. I am from the US, and I know that there are positive things that go on unreported. One of my favorites is a pregnancy center that I volunteer at. The woman who founded it did so on prayer. Even though some people do pledge her a set amount, most months are like humans - hoping for enough money to pay the bills. None the less, there is a "baby store" where infants through age 4 can get clothing, furniture when available, formula, some food items, anything relating to that age group. Pregnancy tests are administered and there is some pregnancy clothing available. With no economic nor geographic guidelines, we are able to serve a good many families who would experience difficulty otherwise. My church group just had a bake sale and got matching funds so we could donate $2000 to The Wellspring Pregnancy Center in Cadiz, Ohio!

I know what you mean. The people that died in the war wouldn't like their pictures all in the paper. It is not right.

You know there is alot of negativity in the news nowadays. One positive thing that just happened is that Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are teaming together through the Bill Gates Foundation. A report had Bill Gates say that what they were going to accomplish was curing the top 20 diseases in the world. Now this appealed to me because I have Diabetes.

My personal good news:
I am alive, my mom and dad are both alive, my beautiful little boys are alive and well (3, 5, and 6). I am happily in a relationship, and we are closing on a house we love today!! I also just got a better job in every way.
Overall news: hmmmm…..our outside water ban has been lifted due to heavy rains recently. I can't think of anything else real positive locally. I am depending on the news for that, and as you said, they focus on the negative.

Unfortunately, it's hard to make most good news sound dramatic. Drama makes people pay attention. I mean we all look at a car crash, even if we really don't want to.
