On the Plus Side: Good News from the World of Big Tires and Mining Equipment

If you keep current with news snippets coming out of the world of big tires and mining equipment, then you're probably aware that bad news often seems to abound. That's true for several reasons. First, there actually is bad news. Second, bad news sells.

Media studies show that bad news far outweighs good news by as much as seventeen negative news reports for every one good news report. Why? The answer may lie in the work of evolutionary psychologists and neuroscientists. Humans seek out news of dramatic, negative events (Psychology Today).

So, should we blame the media for pandering to us, or ourselves for being the way we are? Either way, we felt it incumbent upon us to comb the web for some balance.
