People
get their news these days frm a variety of sources...including
television, radio, magazines and the Internet. However, newspapers
remain the most time-honoured medium through which news is delivered
to people of all ages. I've also noted that there is much 'negative
headlines' and articles that often dominate the pages of the
press...even through other media.
H. L. Mencken stated, “A newspaper is a device
for making the ignorant more ignorant...and the crazy, crazier.”
“It
may be that a person employed by a newspaper,
whose business it is to separate the 'wheat from the chaff'...
then proceeds to see that the 'chaff' is printed.”
Regardless, more than half the world's adults
throughout the country read a paper each day!
The Hamilton Spectator, I receive daily (Monday to Saturday)
delivered to my door before the breakfast hour.
Relevant
to the foregoing, I share with you
positive headlines
that captured my attention in today's publication. A few of these I
share with you.
