I found this website called greatnewsnetwork.com. Essentially, this site gathers happy or inspiring news stories from all over the world and puts them all in one place.
With all of the destruction going on all around the world lately, this site is a nice change. Sometimes we all need to be reminded of our successes as human beings (even though those do not seem to generate ratings).
In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
