If you always want to hear the good news first and skip the bad news, then the new Dutch website One11.nl might be just your thing.

According to the founder of One11.nl, Dutch journalist Bas Mesters, the Dutch-language site features only positive stories, "stories about people who see that there are problems in the world and try to do something about them". 

One11.nl features stories about people who offer hope and inspiration. Dozens of correspondents around the world are contributing to the site.

Since the launch of the site earlier this year, one11.nl has experienced a phenomenal success, and there are already plans to begin an international edition.

It's likely that even more people will visit the site today, "Blue Monday", the most depressing day of the year, according to British psychologist Cliff Arnall.

Journalism largely consists in saying "Lord JONES IS DEAD' to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.

That is the best way to see the world- in a positive light!
