Benefits of Good News

I am just getting into the swing of things after some health concerns. Reading your site daily in the past few months was important for me and a great resource. I am back in fine form, and your site really helps me stay positive and focused on my business. It's exactly the type of effective positive strategy I teach in my seminars.

EDITOR'S BLOG — I wanted to express my gratitude to the people who make my job a lot easier. They are the volunteers who give their time so that GNN-i might flourish. This is a wonderful group: Kerrie, my proof-reader; Michael, our new science writer; Cristina, our summer intern; Andrew, a dedicated viewer who uncovers good news links and sends them by e-mail... Our Team Page is now edited (in the About Us section) to reflect these new faces and tell who they are. If you want to offer your talent and enthusiasm to the group (maybe you're a tax preparer, or a photographer) we'd love to hear from you. Go to the Team Page for details. Add Comment (1)

For the few people who used my contact form to send me a message between July 3-July 9, I didn't receive it. The mail server on my isp was "acting up", bouncing e-mail messages and, then, deleting some mail while I watched the screen in disbelief. (Have you ever heard the song by Todd Rundgren, I Hate My Fricken' ISP?) Anyway, I'm moving to a different hosting company within the week and will make a special announcement regarding the fact. For now, resend your messages! Add Comment (1)

Editor's Blog - Happy Independence Day to all Americans! Do you remember the French newspaper headline the day after 9/11: We Are All Americans Now... I hope we can rekindle that feeling of community around the world, because Americans deserve to be thought of with warmth. Despite our government's dreadful mistakes over the years, the torch still burns faintly, the reminder that we can lead wisely, we can bring hope, we can embrace the world. I thank our lucky stars for the confluence of brave and thoughtful farmers and craftsmen who landed in Boston and Philadelphia and Jamestown as settlers, who spoke out for religious rights, freedom of speech and independence of thought...

EDITOR'S BLOG - Mika Brzezinski is my new hero! The MSNBC anchorwoman refused to read a Paris Hilton story chosen as the lead for her morning newscast this week. This video shows her trying to burn the script and finally ripping it, and later shredding an updated copy. The public protest against her editors' news judgement has brought her praise from both viewers and media professionals alike. She says, "I had one woman send me an email that said she was weeping tears of joy that someone finally took a stand... We were making a statement on our show. I hope it will start to change something... We need to have an open discussion about what is news and what is not." This edited version of Brzezinski's on-air protest has been viewed more than 1.3 million times on YouTube. Add Comment (2)
