Just found an Op-Ed piece in the Times about traditional media's inability or unwillingness to cover good news.
This is a very interesting article for us here at SuperForest, because if you read this site regularly, you know that all we're about is good news.
Here's a taste:
Roger Cohen
"I got an e-mail the other day from a friend at the New America Foundation, a Washington public policy institute, inviting me to participate in a panel on “whether the media can handle good news — whether it’s on Iraq” or whatever.
I accepted, although there’s not much to discuss: the news media are lousy at good news (a virtual oxymoron).
In my lifetime, conditions have grown immeasurably better, freer and more prosperous for a majority of humanity, yet hand-wringing about the miserable remains the reflex mode for most coverage of planet earth."
We totally agree! From where we're looking from, things are getting better all the time. Calamity and strife make for "more exciting" cover stories, but there are a lot of stories that go unnoticed and ignored because they are simply too positive.
Here's the full article.
Like Peace, news need re-branding.
That's what we're working on.
Love to All,
(and take a nice deep breath.)
