I was once told by a listener, that news radio tends to focus only on bad news. I’m not so sure about that. It could simply be her perception of what is good news vs what is bad. For example, when we are broadcasting election night results, many in the audience will hear mostly bad news while others in the audience are popping champaigne corks and cheering. Regardless, it is news.
Based on your perception, I found good news…. or did I? This is a perfect example of how you read this story and whether or not it is good news or bad:
