Look at "The News" this way.
What do you connotate with the word serious?
How do news outlets want to be viewed?
Unfortunately 'bad news' has to be taken seriously and people will usually agree when something terrible is printed that it was indeed terrible.
Good news is much more subjective and people want to feel informed rather than entertained when it comes to news.
Happiness isnt taken seriously.
