Tired of the same old doom and gloom? Are bleak and depressing headlines like, “US soldier, Afghan Killed by Roadside Bomb” and “Jobless Claims Surge, Market Seeks Traction” getting you down?
Then click your world-weary self over to HappyNews.com and discover that the world really isn’t going to hell in a handbasket after all.
HappyNews.com, whose credo is, “Real News, Compelling Stories, Always Positive,” believes that virtue, goodwill and heroism are “hot news.” A diverse team of citizen journalists reports uplifting and inspiring positive news from around the globe. Stories such as “Afghan girl gets chance for healthy life” and “Holiday sales outlook looking brighter” offer the kind of reassurance that we so desperately need in the midst of the calamity and anguish proffered up by our bottom-line-biased, ratings-driven capitalist media and its “if it bleeds, it leads” style of journalism.
While the advent of the 24-hour news cycle expanded the breadth of our understanding of global events, it has also left us all a little unrealistically pessimistic about the present state of the world and its future. An alternate perspective such as the one offered by HappyNews.com serves to remind us that there is good news and hope for the future, after all.

Hello:
Your post as always are fun and informative, well done.
I like the upbeatness of your site. Would like mind being a contributor of my blog?
My name is hoe bing, I have posted previously with regards to ADHD.
I have a podcast on ADHD and the research that surrounds it. I was wondering if you would like to join forces and promote it together with me?
You can find the blog here http://www.theadhdspecialist.com/adhdblog/podcast.html
I would really appreciate your opinion on my podcast and even more so would be grateful for a link exchange.
The main page of the podcast will serve your readers well…that is what I think
Looking forward to starting a relationship with your blog.
Warmest regards,
Hoe Bing
I think I’ll just save some time and simply stick my head up my ass; same end result.
Well, Gloggar, there’s ignoring the bad news completely and then there is taking the occasional break from it. It’s all about balance.
