History of Positive Media Day
A few decades back, the media had the power to educate people, the good and bad — don’t get us wrong, the media still has the power to do it, but unfortunately today’s media is filled with negativity and bad news. This has been shown to affect us negatively too. Media today is skewed heavily toward negative events and depressing information, and it’s time we turn the tides. Positive Media Day has been established to change the status quo of everyday media consumption.
There is too much hatred, negativity, fear, violence, and attacking that goes on every day and if this goes on, people will believe that this is how our world will always be in the coming days. Positive Media Day aims to inspire and uplift you and your news feeds by bringing a change in the mainstream media. It is based on the idea that if we can propel positivity into mainstream media, we can change the status quo and begin to shift our global sentiment.
With positivity in the media, people will be much happier, kinder, and compassionate and will be more excited for the future. Moreover, there’s a lot of amazing news out there in this world, we just want to see it and make others see it. So, this Positive Media Day, lets us take a stand together to spread awareness to make all news and media outlets a beacon of inspiration, positivity, and joy for the rest of the days.
