I am one of many who more often than not burble with fury, frustration and a sense of hopelessness after my daily read of the news in the media. And I am a journalist!  So I wonder how much harm this diet of unrelenting bad news does to society’s collective psyche?

II was a prime target when the offer to buy a minimum £50
share in the launch of Positive News was offered as part of a scheme where shareholders also have involvement in the product. Positive News, a high quality colour magazine, is what it says on the tin: journalism dedicated to letting us know the things that are benefitting and enhancing our world, things to celebrate and feel inspired by.

The editorial philosophy is that ‘ good journalism can also be about the good things that are happening. We don’t stop at highlighting a problem but use that as a starting point before asking what’s being done about it. We then investigate solutions critically, moving beyond the hero tale or happy story, to uncover socially relevant insights into what’s going well in the world.’

Positive News is now owned by 1,526 readers, journalists and supporters from 33 countries following a successful crowdfunding campaign. So if, as I do, you think we badly need this kind of media, help support it by subscribing. Without us as punters, as well as shareholders, they cannot survive . (https://www.positive.news)
