What the news needs more of.
As reporters, we are often commanded to go and find the stories that will sell. Stories about heart-ache and sorrow, about grief and agony. But what about the stories that are based on happiness and charity? Don’t those stories need to be told as well?
No matter you political agenda, this video was on CNN.com and was a little inspiring. A man gave 80 cars a free tank of gas. Not only was this man giving something useful to his community, he didn’t expect anything in return. If only we saw more of that, not only around the holidays, but even during the year, how much different would the world be? If only that was the kind of news we saw on TV or read in the newspapers. Like I tell my students at UNLV, it’s not always about the stories that sell, but more so, about the stories that make a difference.
Watch the video, feel inspired. The news, needs more of that.
