Concept is great! The screenshots don't inspire a sense of it working effectively though. I don't think raw sentiment analysis is enough. 'Good' news to me has one or more of the following qualities:
- It's actionable
- It's informative in a pragmatic sense
- It invokes a positive emotion, such as curiosity, wonder, appreciation, hope, fascination, delight, laughter
- It doesn't aimlessly invoke apathy/fear/anger/disgust/disappointment/hopelessness
- It has substance and is more than a mere report or thin and reflexive reaction
- It isn't tailored to reinforce a specific political agenda
- It's within a domain of interest
- It makes be better equipped to deal with the world
That rules out almost all news articles and virtually all of the examples in the screenshots. I don't think that kind of selecting can be done purely with a sentiment analysis.
- vollmond 9y agoThe political agenda one is important. "Good" news to me in some areas of society are very much not good news to some other people (say, an abortion-related court case being decided).
