Hi.

Today the media said that there's an improvement of coronavirus vaccine. All the tested volunteers have antibody now and they are healthy. I think this is good news to everyone and will cheer us up. I wrote "The good news elevated everyone's spirits". Is my sentence natural?

It's okay, but raised says the same thing with three fewer syllables.

I want to write this sentence down in my notebook. I wonder if I need to say "Today, some media...." or the original sentence is okay.
