I haven't watched TV news or listened to radio news for about 3 years
now. I do sometime read headlines in the Washington Post when I am
grocery shopping. But my main news source is what friends and coworkers
are talking about. If it is big news then I hear about it. (I used to
spend an hour a day reading the Post cover to cover plus CNN, PBS news.
I guess I was a news junkie!)
So I found this article by Joe Vitale about new and a new positive only news website
interesting.

As you probably know, I'm not a
fan of mainstream news.
Why?
It's generally 99% negative and fear based.
Not to mention, most of the news has very
little impact on your daily life, unless you
choose to engage and consume it, which
doesn't feel good at all.
Why invite it in to begin with?
This is not the "Outer Limits." You are in
complete control of your television set.
With that said, I am a major fan of reading
and consuming positive and inspirational
books, news, press and headlines. For me
this is an inspiring process that helps foster
creativity and success.
This morning I read a batch of the latest
testimonials and case studies from my Miracles
Coaching students. Wow - talk about a jolt of
inspirational adrenaline. My coaching students
are taking the expression "Dare Something Worthy"
to new heights.
One particular case study really caught
my eye, as it seemed to truly embody
taking immediate action on an inspired idea.
Inspired largely by my book "The Attractor
Factor", one of my miracles coaching students
developed a "positive news" website.
Yep. This site has nothing but positive news
relating to business, politics, health, science,
entertainment and more. You can see it here --
http://www.positivenewz.com
Now that's a news site worth visiting.
They have an old saying in newspapers that "if it bleeds it leads". I take to mean that violence, conflict and fear tend to make it to the front page or leading stories. This is even more true of TV, which is a more emotional medium.
I do like some radio shows such as This American Life which goes into non=leading stories.
Perhaps if you contact the website with you idea for actionable news they would be interested.
If you don't already read it you might check out Yes magazine http://www.yesmagazine.org/
"Concerned with building a more just, sustainable, and compassionate future with articles about economic alternatives and peace options."
I also watch spiritual cinema circle DVDs as a way to find uplifting movies and documentaries. http://www.spiritualcinemacircle.com/
Does any one have any other positive magazines, website or shows they can recommend?
