Ode* has come up with another marvelous idea, and it’s this: us giving as much attention to, or better yet, replacing the negative nightly news by clicking on their new website in which the editorial staff takes a “look at the most authoritative news sources for stories that focus on solutions rather than problems.” Hence, “a balanced media diet.”

How can the negative nightly news uplift the human spirit? It doesn’t; it can’t. This from Ode: “Research suggests a positive news diet supports your health in this challenging world.”
Ode’s editorial staff wants to remind us that, “Our automated semantic filter is not perfect. Judging values is hard for a machine.” And so they welcome suggestions to “improve the technology” by sending comments to: editor@odemagazine.com
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! -an “around the clock and around the world” news of what’s working in our world.
I hope you’re all enjoying a beautiful day.
