Only Good News to be Reported by Local Evening Newspaper

For the second time in three years, local evening newspaper, the Edinburgh Evening News, is to devote one of its editions solely to the reporting of ‘good news’.

Today’s edition of the paper has been billed Good News Day, and is to comprise only ” the positive aspects of life”.

Says editor, John McLellan: “The first Good News Day was a great success, but that was back in June 2007 when everything was still rosy. Now that times are tough I think people will appreciate a Good News Day even more.

“With the banks in free-fall, the pound plunging, house prices falling, jobs being slashed and angry unions taking it out on foreign workers, there is no shortage of bad news. And while no-one wants to put their head in the sand I do think that we all need to rediscover some sense of optimism and for just one day we’re guaranteeing to bring Evening News readers nothing but good news.

“No-one can accuse the Evening News of shying away from bad news, far from it, but if we can help cheer people up in these worrying times then it will have been worth it.”
