I have some experience in the news industry and I know firsthand how much more negative news drives clicks as compared to positive news. With that in mind, I also hypothesize that there is some level of burnout that some people feel when consuming all of this negative news. So what I’m proposing is a good news website that is focused specifically on my town or state. Stories shared will only be positive, human interest type stories. Or, stories like “researcher at local university finds new treatment for cancer.”
The purpose wouldn’t be to replace traditional news, but to add a supplemental pallet cleanser for people.
Thoughts?
