CHAPTER

The Power of Positive Storytelling

This chapter emphasizes the necessity of balanced storytelling in journalism, advocating for the inclusion of uplifting narratives alongside negative news to combat the psychological effects of consuming too much negativity. Through personal anecdotes, including a touching story about a grandmother's legacy of kindness, the speakers highlight how community and compassion can provide comfort during times of loss. They also discuss their book 'Good People, Stories from the Best of Humanity,' which celebrates acts of kindness and promotes the contagious nature of goodwill among individuals.
