Your ideas are very good.
However, I'd emphasize the dictionary definitions of "news" and "newsworthy." By those definitions, good news is certainly newsworthy.

Our debating topic is 'That good news is not news.'
I am on the negative team so I am saying that good news is, in fact news. I personally believe the good news really isn't news and so I'm struggling to debate for the negative team. I am the first speaker.
So far, I have come up with:
-effects of good news and bad news on the mind (think age groups)
-positivity (good news strengthens the soul)
-good news is inspiring. (japan earthquake and queensland flood heroes, opportunity for young people who have become successful to have their moment in the spotlight)
-there is hope for the sick, injured and suffering when good news is given to them.
what else can i mention?
thanks so much!
