I opened "Beeld" (an Afrikaans newspaper for the English amongst us) this morning on the Internet. The First 6 articles was all about death and destruction. It could have been published the same day last year and probably the last 20 years or so. Nothing new.
I do not think the public is really into this anymore. Is this a foreboding of what Newspapers is going to publish in 2011? Don't they realise that positive and interesting news will also sell ?
Lets tour the world for something more interesting
Lets see Hollywood Moves Away From Middlebrow ( New York Times)

Midhurst's community heroes rewarded.

(what a nice positive story) Where are our community heroes?
Some more positive news : The poll at Times Live asks the question : will 2011 be better than 2010?
The vote ? 67% said yes (275 votes) not bad hey?
Do some playing around on the internet on the world's newspaper headlines. It is really a challenge to find the positiveness out there and still it looks like common folks like you and me are more positive than what we think !
