Yes. People are transitioning to online and television news, so they only buy the newspaper for the classifieds, sales ads, and local events.

Surely, you are NOT suggesting that they should reproduce the New Testament in its entirety! ... But seriously, that is a very intelligent question. I suppose "them" trashy gossipy papers are as close as you could ever get to reporting "good" news and still hope for a decent return on your investment. For some reason, people tend to view "good" news as not just corny, but above all brain-numbingly boring. Or maybe we wish for good news for us, but not others. Whatever the reason maybe, the market fact is, good news just doesn't sell. Or as they say: Good news just isn't newsworthy!

No. Too many people like to hear about misfortunes.
