Positive News Coverage
By focusing on poverty, crime and negative behavior, some news outlets fail to give a total portrait of some communities.
Thankfully, overt racism in the press is is rare nowadays and some organizations have made efforts to include people of color in their daily coverage. However, the overwhelming majority of press still emphasizes negative stories like gangs, drugs and violence, sometimes to the exclusion of positive life experiences.
News is about the exception and unusual, but it is also about triumphs and overachievers and other more positive extremes of our everyday life.
