University Students Create a Good-News Website
Clarkson University announced the following:A pair of Clarkson University students have launched a website they hope will combat a constant flow of bad news for its audience, while also helping readers stay informed. Maximus Powers and Selorm Bruce have started allgoodthings.news, a website with the mission to deliver positive, clear, factual, and relevant stories to its audience while prioritizing their emotions. … The pair work daily to personally curate news stories from a variety of news sources that allows its readers to stay informed about what is happening in the world while offering that news in a positive light. Readers can also submit news stories to the site for consideration. … [According to Powers,] ‘It’s so easy to look at these changes from a bad perspective, especially when that’s how news sites present it. Now is the time when people need things framed positively for once. All Good Things has a big responsibility, to leave visitors feeling like “today is a good day,” which won’t be going away anytime soon. … [Bruce adds,] ‘I want people to understand that there will be “not so good news” at times because more often than not, it is important. A simple way to put it is that I want people to be aware of the bad things happening, but to not get caught up in it so that they forget all the good happening as well.’ For more information, read the news item.
