I have been talking about this for a while, and wanted to do it for maybe longer time. The dream is about a newspaper or news-site on internet that ONLY has good things. These days most newspapers are after scandals and disasters and so on, so this would be really refreshing. And would potentially attract customers. I am really thinking of actually doing this, and using YOU as a subject to decide how to go on with it..

1) What are your feelings on that, could it work (as a business)?
2) Would you like to follow such paper, even if the news would not be that often at the beginning ?
3) Could you be able to contribute by forwarding such news for me / the site?
4) Do you know where such sources could be found ?
5) What are your suggestions on with going on with the idea ?
6) Any improvement ideas ? Basically I'm going to try to go after the "newspaper" style. Because of the available resources I have thought of first using the internet, then maybe going for real papers and who knows, maybe also as tv-channel later on..

At first I'm not planning to have money grow out from this one ;) The idea was that this would be more to promote talking about what kind of news we are shown all the time. And, if it grows like I feel it has the potential of, then it might turn into business in some form or other - but at the beginning it would be for free, to attract potential customers and maybe some help on keeping it up too.
Basically first I would be running it either from free servers or as a blog-style thing, or even from my own computer, but if it turns out to get potential for profit... then it might be needed to switch to dedicated servers and business models :)
Why this all ? Because I'm quite fed up with the news that we are shown.. That there are only bad stuff reported. And because I don't like the idea that people are just talking about negative stuff.. you might know what I'm talking about.
