HappyNews.com - All The News That's Fun To Print
Description
We're obviously different from most news sites in that we're looking for happy stories only. We're a news supplement, or online magazine, if you will, that seeks to add to a newsreader's experience. So we're not going to be interested in some stories, including some very newsworthy ones. For example, the Valerie Plame scandal and crisis in Darfur are newsworthy and relevant. But they make as much sense here as they would in Cat Fancy or Motorcycle Cruiser Magazine – it's just not what we do.
Our basic belief is not that people should be insulated from bad news. Far from it. We encourage people to be fully engaged, fully informed citizens. That means we need to know the good and the bad. We just believe much of the traditional media has strayed from this course, and reports a disproportionate amount of negative news. We are trying to balance the scales back out. Plus, let's be honest, there are some days when we have just "had enough" and need a pick-me-up. Hopefully this site accomplishes that.
We look especially for those happy positive stories that we can't get anywhere else – and that means assigning Citizen Journalists to go out and interview people for direct quotes, to find anecdotes, and cover events in their backyards and communities that may not grab the attention of standard media outlets. This fresh and immediate perspective is the added value Citizen Journalism brings our readers.
