News to Enthuse
 The Letters from readers testify to the positive outcomes they've experienced since reading the Good News Network. These letters illustrate that good news can change one's outlook and change one's life. It can even change one's health: Researchers at the Harvard University School of Public Health found that optimism cuts the chances of developing heart disease and the rate of lung-decline as we age.
Now in her 10th year of publishing positive news, the editor is convinced by her own personal experiences that health and well being enhance one's life as a result of a daily focus on good news. Read her essay, Why Good News?

Reporters' Questions For the Good News Network
- Does this mean you are opposed to the media's negative stories? (Answer)
- But good news doesn't sell! People want the blood and gore, not the victories and enlightenment. Will people want good news? Answer:
Past performance proves that people do want the positive:
In newspaper supplements, Parade is the most successful.
The number one magazine for decades was Readers' Digest.
Number one in TV talk for many years was Oprah and her Angel Network.
Leading the prime time dramas was Touched by an Angel.
- The public today seems so divided. How can we AGREE on what is 'good' news? Answer: We don't polarize with debate, but unify upon common ground. We believe the common ground upon which we can find agreement as modern citizens is based on seven traditional values listed here.

Rekindling an appreciate for the good things in life
"making a huge difference"
I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your time and energy. Like many people, I have become so discouraged by the mainstream media's bent towards bad news and the seemingly voracious appetite that drives it.
At first, I will admit, that your news articles weren't that interesting to me! Often, I've found myself skimming the articles, thinking "so what?!" But I believe this reaction is just from the desensitization that occurs with sensational news in the mainstream media. So I decided to continue receiving your RSS feed and guess what? Your daily stories have allowed me to rekindle a certain appreciate for the good things in life. The truth is, I was passing up a lot of good things in my life without realizing it. They just don't reach out and bite you on the butt like bad events do. But they are everywhere, just waiting to be noticed!
Please keep doing what you're doing. It is making a huge difference in the way I see my world.
