People will often ask us questions like, "Why is the news always bad? No one wants to hear those horrible things."

Well, trust me, we don't want to report them, either.

Here's an interesting article from Quill, a publication of the Society of Professional Journalists.  It's called Overcoming Trauma, and it's written by a crime reporter in Charlotte.

I hope you read it... because she explains why these horrible stories -- that you don't always want to hear, and we don't always want to tell -- really do need to be told.

And fortunately, we don't have ALL bad news, even if it seems that way sometimes!  We really do look for uplifting, "happy" stories too... so if you ever have any ideas, let us know!
