It is an intriguing question-- I do think if we had more positive news, it would sell. I'm an optimist though, and always find my day starts out much better with a dose of powerfully positive words. Like other mood enhancing items (coffee for some, aromatherapy, flowers, even a simple smile!) people would get hooked and likely feel the "need" for positive news every day, habitually. Words are powerful visuals.

I would be more apt to pick up the paper or tune into a station that was going to sway or motivate me in a positive way. And I do think that positive things, no matter how big or small, are newsworthy because at this current moment in time, the negativity that prevails in our news could most likely be neutralized by a surge of positivity….Bring on the positive observer!
