Good news is growing trend

According to an article in Newsweek, good news is becoming more popular as we are increasingly inundated with bad news.

Daniel Stone writes that he wanted an alternative to all of the bad news he read, but as a journalist, withdrawing was not an option. He found the website of Ode, a monthly magazine targeting "Intelligent Optimists," as his go-to source for good news, but there are many other outlets, including Seattle radio station KJR-FM , the Good News Network, and this blog, Daily Hope.

The good news is, good news is more than just a cure for the bad news blues. According to studies, good news can have a positive effect on mental health, as well as blood pressure and sleep patterns.
