Good News Links A while ago it was mentioned at the Chapel that there would soon be a source of positive news on the Chapel website. After just a short look at a Google search using the words "good news" here are the results. The results are listed in the order that Google gave them. Only the straight news sources were selected for this list. There are others that you can look at, in your own search. It is interesting to see the different approaches used by the different sites. Below each link, is descriptive text taken from the site itself. ( It always easier to use the words of the source to see how it is described by itself. ) Below are: Good News Network Good News Broadcast Positive Press Good News Blog Ode ( a magazine ) Have fun exploring for GOOD NEWS that will lift your day. ===================================== Good News Network #1 on Google when searching for "good news" More than 300 original news stories published Our mission is simple. Lots of people hunger for positive news in their lives and sense this need in society as well. The birth of positive news programming was inevitable in today's media landscape and it will become a permanent fixture in the culture of the 21st century. No place for negative news? Negative news is an important staple of any well-informed citizenry and necessary for society's evolution. But, today we are in dire need of a well-balanced media diet. Local TV news, especially, has been continually feeding us junk food. We need to be informed by a world view that is not dripping with sensationalism and attuned to the police scanner What we offer A Daily Dose of News to Enthuse - The Good News Network is a clearinghouse for the gathering and dissemination of positive news stories from around the globe. Daily stories will confirm what we already believe -- that good news itself is not in short supply; the advertising of it is. Citizens are invited to submit stories to the network. News professionals in the mainstream media may also contribute to GNN-i so that their optimistic news and commentary receives a wider audience and sustained appreciation. Why Good News? Good news can create positive changes -- emotionally, physically and materially -- in any person's life no matter their background. Good News Broadcast ABOUT GOOD NEWS BROADCAST We are offering a new media concept for news and entertainment about people making a positive, constructive impact on society, no matter what the obstacles are. Imagine if each New York Times article attached a candid, unedited audio recording of the people interviewed for each story? Would the way you get your news seem a little different? Good News Broadcast is the only news program, for now, where you will not only be able to read an article, you will be able to download, on demand, the actual video or audio interview behind the article. Almost every written story on Good News Broadcast attaches an original, unedited audio or video interview with the people behind the articles. So, rather than just reading our write up, our audience can go straight to our news sources and make their own decision about the content. We provide all the media resources to bring the audience into the action, to let them decide for themselves about the news. Positive Press The Positive Point of View The Positive Press was founded to highlight positive stories found in the mainstream media. By calling attention to these stories we wish to encourage more constructive and positive journalism. Although it is true that newspapers and magazines often seem to focus on the negative, editors and journalists simply believe that they are supplying the type of news which is in demand by the general public. We seek to demonstrate that there is a great demand for positive news. To some extent the existing journalistic practice, exemplified by the trade cliche "if it bleeds, it leads" is a realistic response to the natural human fascination with tragedy and disaster. But many surveys support our belief that there is an unsatisfied demand for more positive news; stories highlighting the countless daily acts of human intelligence, ingenuity, resourcefulness, and generosity. And every day many such stories are written; but by the time you find the positive stories you may be deeply discouraged by all the negative news that you have to sift through to find the uplifting and inspirational stories. We sift the news for you; when you want to find the good news, you can come straight to the Positive Press.
