"No News is Good News"

Speaking from the stance of a Journalism & Mass Communication BA holder, I think it's my social obligation to put the rumors to rest.

This isn't true even if you're a parent who "doesn't wanna know." And here's why:

1. Just because you haven't found out doesn't mean it didn't happen.
2. If you didn't hear anything that's bad or good,that just means your kid isn't doing anything special worthy of note. In essence, you produced a dud.

This is especially untrue in the world of actual news journalism. And here's why:

1. There's always something that needs to be given attention.
2. Just because it wasn't reported, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
3. And, if we're looking at how to take the quote apart, you could say that some news is good news.

This quote assumes that everything is on par if nothing is happening. But isn't that the worst thing you ever heard? If nothing is happening, that means nothing is happening. Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing worthwhile. Nothing. And that's boring. Real. Boring.
