Introduction to the Good News Network

| Print |  E-mail
Since 1997, people have turned to the Good News Network for positive news stories to balance the negativity they receive daily in the news.
  • Fact 1: The U.S. homicide rate dropped in the 1990's by 42 percent, but network news coverage of murders jumped more than 700 percent. (Center for Media and Public Affairs)
  • Fact 2: People are turning away from mainstream news. On a weekday evening, less than 25 percent of the homes nationwide tune in to ABC, CBS and NBC news — combined. And, newspaper readership is declining steadily.
  • Fact 3: Young people are learning how positive material can directly affect performance and happiness. A positive psychology course at Harvard is the most popular class on campus with around 850 students enrolled.
