Just an idea
Always a good day for news, never a day for good news
I haven’t opened a news website or seen a headlines section of any app that wasn’t COMPLETELY negative in… well, I can’t remember when it wasn’t that way.
It’s absolutely insane that the news is so fixated on negative information. We know this. It’s nothing new. The old saying “if it bleeds, it leads” is forever true. But… just one main headline being positive? Is that possible? Is it even allowed?
I would love to see a news outlet make one day of the week dedicated to positive, feel good news stories. Other news could obviously get posted in the “back pages” where the user needs to click links or navigate to. But the whole front page would be positive.
I’m interested to see if this would result in even a small percentage of people having overall more positive feelings throughout the week or not. Mundane, local stories could reshape somebody’s whole outlook.. I think, anyways.
“Girl beats cancer,” “Company donates millions to charity”, “New sandwich released by McDonald’s,” “Local woman wins major award.”
So tired of the negativity. I get it - it gets clicks and views. But all I want is a single day of the week for good news.
Hope you’re doing well out there.
