An idea to brighten journalism


The news isn’t always positive. Actually, it seems like the majority of the time it’s shocking or sad. It came to me while watching the news the other day that there should be some platform that delivers solely happy news and positive happenings on a local and worldwide scale. Unfortunately, there’s no way for news to be positive all the time, but there should be more of a focus on when it is. A website or blog would be a good way to reach news gatherers around the world. The site could be organized into different sections like: people, places, or upcoming events. Citizens who are doing something positive would be given feature pieces describing their goals. A reporter could get to know them and write about what they're up to. The publicity could also benefit whatever cause they may be involved in. If they need support, such a site could act as an advertisement or sorts for them. This is just an attempt to make the news a little more uplifting.
