Walk away from negativity. When I read the newspaper, I look for the good news. Keep up your good work. If news is not really news unless it is bad news, it may be difficult to claim we are an informed nation. We need to think about our impact.
Readers say otherwise.
I feel what I have been doing lacks balance. It is not enough, in fact it is too easy, to show just the bad things in the world. People are inundated with images of violence and grief. So much so that many don't want to see it any more and they close their minds and hearts. Sometimes, the measure of our work as journalists is not the professional recognition of colleagues, but rather the mark we make in the hearts of readers who see our work.
