Giving - a story

I just read a story at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7311933.stm about someone who has won £1.2m at Bingo and is sharing it with her neighbour "because we always share our wins". It turns out she has also been a great neighbour helping out during illness etc.

I love to read stories like this. In a world seemingly full of greed and 'self', it is good to be reminded that real people are still generous at heart. This story has no prominence on the BBC website and I had to search for it. I wonder why 'nice' news stories are not considered newsworthy?
