The Edinburgh Evening “good” news
Friday, June 22nd, 2007
As newspapers have a reputation of being full of the miserable things in life, the Evening News in Edinburgh is having a happy day.
Next Thursday the paper will contain nothing but good news. Editor John McLellan said:
Newspapers are always accused of being harbingers of doom and gloom. And although it’s true to say that the biggest stories usually involve some element of human tragedy or failings, papers do not focus entirely on the negative aspects of life.
Edinburgh has an incredible amount going for it - a beautiful city with low crime, low unemployment, fantastic entertainment, top class sports, great schools and universities and a manageable size. And with the traditional trades holiday fortnight kicking off the following day, people in Edinburgh should be feeling good.
It will be interesting to see how the circulation does on that day.
