How To Get More Positive Stories In the Media

I went a a talk today about Faith and the Media, part of the speaker series held by the Young Adult Circle in Silicon Valley: http://www.youngadultcircle.org/

It was a really interesting talk given by a mature Catholic reporter about how to influence the media, especially mediums such as newspapers, radio stations and tv stations. The easiest thing that we can do to demand more positive stories are the following:

1) Write or email the tv reporters, newspaper reporters, and radio hosts, thanking them for positive stories that ran in the media.
2) Feed them news stories if you know of any happy things happening in your local area or just know some really fantastic people

These 2 small things any of us can do to help direct media on stories that inspire and gladden the heart.
