Content Analysis: Virtuous, Lovely, of Good Report, and Praiseworthy

I've noticed that content analysis studies predominately seem to focus on negative things.  We study violence levels, sexual content, physical and relational aggression, and other such topics.  Why don't we study positive values and acts in the media?  Is it because we wouldn't find enough positive material to analyze?  Is it because no one would be interested in the findings?  Is it because we can accomplish more good by disclosing the bad in negative aspects of media than we can by extolling the good in positive aspects?

This class has really helped me realize that if I don't proactively look for wholesome media, I'm not going to find it by chance.  Because of that, I had the idea to start my own personal content analysis project to evaluate the media I use.  Instead of looking for negative things, I'd like to "code" the media I use based on positive aspects.  How many uplifting and wholesome incidents occur in the video/book/song?  How frequently do images/acts/lyrics that invite the spirit occur?  How many portrayals of chastity and charity occur.

This means that I'd have to find definitions of uplifting, wholesome, chastity, and charity.  I'd have to take time to think about the media I use instead of just using it with my mind in "entertain me" mode.  I'd probably have to stop using some of the media I currently use.  But I've realized that if I really want to seek after things that are virtuous, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy, it's probably not going to be easy.
