Challenging the Notion that if it Doesn't Bleed, it Won't Lead, Author Sue Ray has Published And Now For The Good News, a Book that is Filled with N
Needham, MA (PRWEB) September 4, 2007 -- Moment Point Press and author Sue Ray have published And Now For The Good News to explore American news and media consumption and its effect on our individual and collective psyches.
"With continuous TV, Internet and radio coverage -- all that news time to fill -- we hear the same negative news stories over and over and over," says Ray. "Its enough to leave us feeling hopeless!" In fact, according to positive psychologist Martin Seligman, "We are a nation in depression."
And Now For The Good News offers a refreshing antidote to all the negative news coverage with positive, solutions-oriented news and trends and helpful resources that leaves readers feeling informed, inspired and motivated.
With chapters such as "Charity and Forgiveness," "Peace and Civility," "Youth and Hope," as well as a chapter on the environment titled "Heal and Sustain," Ray turns on its head the notion that only news that bleeds is informative and important.
The book contains many practical resources -- Internet sites, books, contact information, etc. -- all of which provide simple and immediate ways to get involved and make a difference.
"And Now For The Good News contains inspiring news and valuable resources pertinent to both youth and adults," says Ginger Thomson, CEO of YouthNoise.com. "It provides a wonderful, positive way for parents and kids to connect."
Ray has teamed with Pam Laskey to launch a companion Web site:
http:///www. andnowforthegoodnews.com. The site will feature positive news from around the world and invite visitors to participate by contributing good news and resources.
"We have found that the public is hungry for positive news," says Laskey, "and our goal is to provide a steady stream of it to offer more solutions-oriented, informative, and uplifting coverage of local and world events."
The book hit bookstores September 1, 2007. Ray will donate 50 percent of all author royalties to charitable organizations featured in the book.
