The Washington Post has good news.
The Optimist, a new newsletter, is “a collection of stories that’s part feel-good, part success-against-all-odds,” Mike Wallberg reported for Images & Voices of Hope.
“It’s an artisanal, made-with-love weekly mix that might bear some similarities to that of a show such as ‘CBS Sunday Morning,’” said David Beard, Optimist editor and Post director of digital content. “Our hope is that it offers a reflective, inspiring experience that will help readers consider new things and gear up for the week ahead.”

And since we’re talking about things that make good news, this newsroom take on “Happy” should be included. It’s from ZBTV. (And there’s a dancing beer bottle and lots of pantomime lassos!)
And here’s one from NTV in Kenya. (Awkward shirt-removing aside, it’s pretty good.)
