Positive News

Ever wondered why which ever media you look at, you only see negative and depressing new? Is the world really such a bad place and is there no good happening? 

The world still has enough good happening and there are enough kind and just people. Just that for some reason negative news draws people more than positive news. It's not the fault of journalism. Just that positive news does not translate to positive business as seen in the chart below. 

However, thats not the point of this post. 
What it seeks to initiate is a social experiment. If one were to build a repository of positive and heart warming  human stories, would that attract people? Would people read them? Would people share them?  
There already might be many more such sites, but does not matter. The world will not lose from sharing more good news.
The veracity of the news will be a challenge and hence news once added may be deleted if found to be fake.

Let's see how it goes.
