To a journalist, good news is often not news at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A good journalist is modest; his only job is simple: to decide what counts as news.
Well-reported news is a public good; bad news is bad for everyone.
The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news.
In the business world, bad news is usually good news - for somebody else.
Some news managers have been slow to grasp that good television news is always substance over form.
Good news doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. Bringing good news is imparting hope to one's fellow man.
The bad news for journalists today is that the media, however seriously people who are in the public eye take it, is not taken as seriously as it once was - by the public.
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
In most cases, the news is not really news. But in some cases, discoveries are made and should be listened to.
Without the balancing context of everyday life, all you have is the news, and news by its nature is generally bad.
