While some people can’t get enough of negative news there is a growing trend in positive news coverage, prompting Newsweek to cover the good news beat.<\/span> <\/p>\n


\n\"090317_lede_Luck.jpg\"<\/a><\/span>“Is the glut of bad news getting you down?” asks journalist Daniel Brown, in the Newsweek<\/span><\/em> web article, “The Growing Hunger for Positive News Stories<\/font><\/a>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Not me,” he writes. “I’ve tapped into the growing number of outlets that produce nothing but positive stories–and I’m never going back.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Beliefnet has been in the business of inspiring people for 10 years and we have always served up good tidings and a positive spin on life. Our new blog, The Inspiration Report<\/span><\/em>, gives us a chance to bring you a steady flow of inspiring news.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nice to know that positive news reportage is more in fashion these days, with good and happy news sites popping up around the web.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The best reason to get a healthy dose of good news is that it’s good for you,” writes Brown. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Studies show that a calm and optimistic mind can have health benefits, like lower blood pressure and deeper sleep. Which explains why it’s not just me; good news is a pretty hot commodity these days. Of course it’s impossible to find a positive spin on every bit of depressing information that comes across on the cable-news crawl. But organizations that dish up unreported or unnoticed positive stories are becoming hot commodities.<\/span>“<\/p>\n

“The Growing Hunger for Positive News–Selling the Silver Lining” was published online on Newsweek<\/em> in March 2009.<\/p>\n
