Good News Newspapers

Badly sourced article about a term of questionable real-world usage. I can't find any reliably sourced examples of this existing as a term for a class of thing, as this article describes -- all I can find is examples of religious newspapers using "Good News" as their name. And that's largely what the purely primary sources here are showing as well: two of the four are using "Good News" as their name, and the other two are papers which are doing the same sort of thing while using different terms for it other than "good news" per se (such as "positive news"). But newspapers' own mission statements aren't adequate sourcing for an article about the thing those newspapers describe themselves as being -- reliable source coverage would have to analyze this term as a thing, independently of the newspapers calling themselves this, before it would qualify for an article. But that's exactly the sort of coverage I'm not actually finding anywhere. Bearcat (talk) 19:52, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is obviously a concept, and many of us have probably seen these newspapers, however the references are no good....there's no independant commentary here explaining the concept. Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:15, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
