Call it www.feelgood.news.
Web Site Spreads the "Good News"
"We're pleased to tell you that no news is good news. No wait. We're pleased to tell you that it's sometimes good to get the news. Wait, that's still not right. We're pleased to tell you that no good news is bad. Ah, forget it: what we mean is, try Positive Press, which 'was founded to counteract the tendency of the mainstream media to focus on the negative.' Sponsored by The Athens Institute, the motto at Positive Press is 'Good News Every Day'; and that is exactly what you'll get here, culled from various online news sources. Also be sure to contemplate their thought of the day and send in your own good news."
Positive Press publisher John Groom has been interviewed on many radio shows. Besides the "As It Happens" program on Canadian public radio, he has been featured on PRK in Norway and the largest independent radio station in South Africa.

"If the stress of the holidays is finally catching up with you, here's a site that dispenses a little Christmas cheer:The Positive Press Web site carries only good news from all corners of the globe. The content isn't sentimental or syrupy, just true stories with a positive spin and a happy ending. There is also a place where you can send your own good wishes to the cybercommunity.
"There are good things happening all over the world during this holiday season. This Web site was created to promote stories of human goodness, perseverance and kindness.

We received many new readers as a result of this selection by one of the most important companies involved in the dynamic field of integrating TV and the Web.
