Sweet little story

Sometimes a sweet little story like the presentation of the Welcome Baby Bag at the hospital brings home the realization that there are plenty of good-willing people in our community.

Stories about violent crimes, serious accidents and large-scale fraud investigations tend to dominate the news and push such initiatives into the background.

Good news is no news is a well-known maxim in journalism. No matter how true that remains, its effect is that social issues in general receive less coverage.

The Welcome Baby Bag story is a topic from the category small news. But it has a huge impact on the mothers and babies who benefit from it.
