According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=8SoJV6xsmwPFDDk5RJ1x_yyUIHV6l1wOGGA8qLLWKoh2GgK4Umj73WWDkB7ChLKYqaVarRQEJwZG7fSyUtWWpixWLMUetMHSEJ77c9kPlyGYs-s2IOQfu-rVam3ILOoPN6eKp8BIGeW9ftBqJB7VCA==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"survey\">survey<\/a> on the matter by Digital Third Coast, 67% of respondents reported feeling burnt-out and overwhelmed by the news respectively, with another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=8SoJV6xsmwPFDDk5RJ1x_46DHpk-nc_6KsCNRih4bguSiZqFhB1r5xxC-Mi30i39yUmoPBffot08T6wfJ_LHOE77skRhxi8Ri0K03GUHPh2bGJBDAXf8HJ-qgwVvE-Pu\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"survey\">survey<\/a> by the\u00a0American Psychological Association\u00a0reporting over half of Americans feel stressed as a result of news consumption.\u00a0<br \/>However, reading good news can help readers to feel more hopeful and optimistic, with one Happy Headlines user\u00a0reporting it &#8216;instantly brightened their mood&#8217;. In addition to helping those with news fatigue, the company also wants to help those who may be struggling with mental health by offering a chance to read something uplifting and\u00a0help\u00a0people to feel more optimistic.<br \/>What was the inspiration for this particular venture? Saskia Ainsworth, the founder of the start-up site, said:\u00a0<em>&#8220;I found myself dreading whenever the news would come on at diner time, it just used to make me worry and feel anxious. I just didn&#8217;t want to hear it, it brought my overall mood down. I guess that&#8217;s where the idea started, I thought it would be a nice idea if people had somewhere to go which made them feel more optimistic.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>To add what else motivated her:\u00a0<em>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to make a positive impact in the world, to help people, to help people feel happier. In the long term, if possible, I&#8217;d really like to focus on ways I can make a positive change around the world,\u00a0whether that be for people or the eart<\/em><em>h<\/em><em>, both would be amazing, in an ideal world. Just to help people is the real goal.&#8221;<\/em><br \/><strong>Notes to Editors\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>Happy Headlines is a start-up website based in the UK, that helps people navigate the world of good\u00a0news and find stories that will make them feel uplifted.<br \/>You can find additional quotes via the &#8216;About&#8217; section of the website.<br \/><strong>Media Contacts<\/strong><br \/>Email:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=NPbLdlK2l4x8QfZNDXETc4n_6SNHMfd4yaMjXPOHUvtY-b3fbTfCg2YdQjHy6MYEYqb9AXIFHTw05lxIF26rFzS_OmaOUtmceUVt4e3bpG8=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><u>hello@happy-headlines.com<\/u><\/a>\u00a0<br \/><strong>Social Links<\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>Twitter &#8211; @happyheadlines_<br \/>Instagram &#8211; @happyheadlinesofficial<br \/><strong><b>Related Images<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=YIDbb31Yt9YQoWdGzJSUezvaWgVXpe64qF65H30vyU6mV0Rqu_tkEYZDB_kkwcj-izwnhVj6LdAVgUJIpSzw0rvJlk2Ofzl_05pmvxPL5sqoh-FEwKZTJKjGuxXZBlgowNEndSA-s5HuEb2SBPfKow==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">        <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"hugin\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.newswire.com\/files\/x\/a6\/6e\/a4f7dcb17a9e5ea3446dfbcfd1f2.jpg\" width=\"512\" \/>       <\/a>       <\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=YIDbb31Yt9YQoWdGzJSUexuvXbeaDStTbkmA788SDGC7FERINHZlKX4HZaXPsvu-mHvXWBL5u-kBNv5RVhR17qzKk0OZ7pf10Opxm34l4YdFGA_ZrDrpogSakYTZHk1hEQqtucX5vQQYRBnGqFejC966eor1hhUZ99hlq-MJpnzX3pRhkWcPBc3vkxhvQSrG2jGpQSk2TA6YIr1dbYOXXA==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">       <strong><b>Image 1: Happy Headlines Press Release Image<\/b><\/strong>      <\/a>      <\/p>\n<p>  This content was issued through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Lnz2ZSt93RB7NdEjIdkfTZ8OqqL7_9-UISQkAUFEYw20AibQV33Bbefy3f6w6V_tyzFM7BHnojwsoYreAVRoGQdHfsfwURuApERGGYjm2w2q-f1Xe7I2fJbzWoKXa3V4s4Sk8RHP6poard5D8w8pVw==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"press release distribution service at Newswire.com\">press release distribution service at Newswire.com<\/a>. <br \/>     <strong>Attachment<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2021\/11\/22\/2339227\/0\/en\/Good-News-Website-Launches-to-Combat-News-Fatigue.html\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 22, 2021 11:45 ET | Source: Happy Headlines Happy Headlines London, LONDON, Nov. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Happy Headlines is a new start-up that has recently launched its new good news website, with an aim to combat the ever-evolving issue of &#8216;news fatigue&#8217;.The recently launched website contains bite-sized good news stories, all surrounding [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":869,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/linksus2.linksus.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1875"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/linksus2.linksus.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/linksus2.linksus.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksus2.linksus.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/869"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksus2.linksus.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/linksus2.linksus.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1875\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/linksus2.linksus.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksus2.linksus.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksus2.linksus.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
