What % of mainstream news headlines are negative vs. positive? eg @nytimes @latimes @washingtonpost @usatoday @chicagotribune etc

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Very interesting question. I would guess 30 positive and 70 negative, mostly because people like bad news, and we are living in bad times. ( economy )

I'm getting at sentiment here, and am looking for hard stats and/or social research, perhaps some semantic search data? Eg a Pew study.

Q rephrased: What percentage of mainstream media headlines have a positive or negative connotation?

@LATimes has been accused of publishing too much "bad news" so we launched http://twitter.com/latimesgoodnews - your feedback is welcome.

By negative vs positive, do you mean biased vs unbiased? It's not entirely clear what you're trying to ask...!
