Doomsaying rules the day - or does it?

16 Jan 2012

I'm a little tempted to say 'put another record on' when it comes to national media reports about the economy - the amount of doom and gloom out there is extremely depressing.

We get sent reports from about the state of the economy every day - with one saying that we are indeed hovering over the precipice of recession, and another saying that we are actually IN recession once more.

And of course every day there is an update on the Eurozone crisis with France losing its AAA status last week and other countries set to follow suit soon.

What I am noticing though is that hardly any of these stories are balanced with any really positive economic news - there has to be SOME out there surely?

Oh I tell a lie - M&S sold quite a lot of food at Christmas. Which is nice.

I know we cover negative news here on ChannelWeb - but unlike our cousins in the national press we are not afraid to publish positive stuff as well.

So this is a call to action - if you have some positive news - please share it with us! I would like to write a few more positive stories this week or mention positive news on Twitter.

Views - both channel related and everyday life observations - from CRN Editor Sara Yirrell. If you have any gossip that you would like to share with me please do get in touch and also we would love to see your comments at the end of the blog.
