The bad news is that 50 people died in a hotel fire; the good news is that we got exclusive footage.

There's good news and slightly less good news.

Bad news travels at the speed of light; good news travels like molasses.

Television news is a delicate balance of serving public good and private gain.

Well-reported news is a public good; bad news is bad for everyone.

The good news is that I've already outlived two Brontes, Keats, and Stephen Crane. The bad news is that I haven't written anything.
