Come on stuff.co.nz, be positive!

I use Google Reader to keep up-to-date with headlines and RSS feeds and it was interesting to see the difference between the headlines regarding the Xero first year profit announcement today. The stuff.co.nz headline reads "Xero posts $4.3 million annual loss" where as the NBR released "Xero beats forecasts but receipts lower." Essentially both articles had all the same facts and figures so the only real difference between them was the writers opinion of Xero.

Personally I like the positive approach that NBR took on this headline which shows their attitude towards fostering business success in New Zealand, unlike Fairfax. Maybe they just don't like new things or its founder Rod Dury ... who knows? I know that from now on I'll be checking my NBR feeds long before any from stuff.co.nz because I like to be in a positive frame of mind.
