I’m Honestly Fed Up With All The Bad News, So I Illustrated 50 Of The Best Ones From 2019
We are often bombarded with fear-mongering and shocking headlines that make us feel that the world is falling apart.
However, while it’s important to report on problems and issues, I believe there is so much good in this world that it needs to be found and promoted just as widely.
Because of that, I started The Happy Broadcast. It's an anti-venom to the vitriolic rhetoric that pervades our media. Also, this year, I’ve illustrated even more happy news than in 2018.
We need more positive news to acknowledge that the world is actually getting better little by little.

This post may include affiliate links.
When I'm working on The Happy Broadcast, I try to pick news that has an international appeal and touches themes like animal rights, climate change and science. News that shows how much we’re progressing on many fronts despite being often bombarded with few-mongering headlines.

I am so happy for their victory, but just find it bonkers that an indigenous tribe had to fight a legal battle to protect their land in the first place.
I think there are many reasons why negative news is dominating the media. It's like a sudden disaster a, it's more compelling than, for example, little improvements. Bad things can happen quickly, but good things aren’t built in a day, and as they unfold, they're out of sync with the news cycle.

Me too, the red cross is really strict about protecting the donors' health. So I can not donate blood.. Instead I save up gold coins to donate to them.

I don't know if other countries do this, but also in Sweden when you give blood you first get a breakfast style meal (so you won't faint or feel weak) and afterwards you can choose between different gifts, like movie tickets or towels and stuff, donated by companies. Or you can choose that your "money" goes to a charity.

On and off I have been giving blood over 80x since 1976 got frustrated when I could not give our youngest son family blood during the tainted blood scandal 1993. Back then the Red Cross did that total control with minimal feedback. Every blood donor should be in more control of their blood donations. Blood donors are more likely to do what is right for blood donors. Innovating healthier and longevity of life. Educating in problem solving solutions to help blood donors with themselves being able to study the lab blood analysis records showing all levels of tracking. Research to ensure a healthy harvest at the same time ensuring all donors get on track for longevity of donating. Healthy Wealthy and Wise.

As a blood donor myself, I appreciate this, however it might have an unexpected effect wherein people look forward to receiving a message, but then never do because their unit of blood expires before it gets used or is used but then the patient dies anyway on the operating table. I hope folks don't stop donating if they don't get that message later, out of a sense of futility, like "oh well, I donated but it didn't end up making a difference."

And exactly how many liters are missing from your specific blood type in your area.
As humans, we have this thing called “negative bias” that make us respond quicker to bad or dangerous situations. Nowadays, this bias is getting in the way of our happiness and well-being, and even our productivity because most of the narrative surrounding us (print, online or mobile) is that the “world is ending".
I think we should find a balance between negative and positive news. From politics to climate change and economy, negative and bad news surrounds us everywhere we go. A potential solution could be to limit the amount of bad news, basically slow down our personal news cycle, adding some positive news to our “news diet” to make sure that our outlook on the world is more optimistic. Also, it's very important to invest time to deal with misinformation and the reliability of news sources.

Although the use of solar panels is green, many solar panel manufacturing processes are not. To create a solar panel, caustic materials will emit greenhouse gases. Plus less than 11% of each panel has salvageable metals so they're not very recyclable once they're usable life has expired. Most people aren't aware that the 'green' alternatives often aren't.

It is necessary, because often private investors will support male entrepreneurs over female entrepreneurs. This happens mostly due to people in power currently being predominantly male and as many studies have proven, men are much less likely to believe that women are capable of success in a serious work environment. This can be ascribed to both deliberate and subconscious sexism. It's the same argument for why people of ethnicities other than caucasian should be given benefits that equalize the playing field. A group in power will not willingly give over their own power.

Awesome post -- I agree that there's WAY too much negative bias on the internet. One of my favorite pieces of "good news" from this year is that the European Investment Bank, the world's largest multilateral lender, recently announced that it will stop funding fossil fuel projects by 2021 and divert those funds to renewables instead. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climate-europe-eib-idUSKBN1XO2OS

There's been a ton of great news lately though, communists got BTFO'd in a lot of western countries, the US economy is doing great, brexit is finally going to go through without impedance. Overall SJW's are losing and the people are regaining some of their power.

That was a tonic. I am going to save it to look at when I get down about the state of the planet.

Reading this just made me feel sadder! How can homo sapiens have developed so much technology and yet remain so stupid! So sad...

Thank you sooooo much. I bet there are plenty more of these positive news. If we could concentrate on those instead of bad news, scandals, fake news and all the bs we are exposed to everyday, the world would be a better place. I applaud your dedication.

Nice list of happy events except don't see why Taiwan would be happy about joining the morally depraved countries that support homosexuality.

I have been plagued with depression for weeks. Blah. I cry every morning. This morning, it was finally about something good. Thanks Bored Panda for making this the top story in my email.

When you are bombarded with stories of decline, loss, and hopelessness it is easy to think "Why bother" - this is why we should bother! Perhaps the news channels should take a leaf out of Mauro Gatti's post and throw us a sucess story once and a while. Thank you

3 things to say! 1. All of this is magnificent! Bravo to all 😊👏🏻 2. It’s so sad to see the differences between parts of the world-some make fake islands for flora and fauna while some are getting electricity. 3. People are awful. To even come to this state,to destroy everything on their way... In any case,kudos for all the positivity here 😊

I am sad to see the us very low on the list of contributions. We as a people need to start to fight again for the rights of our children, grandchildren, etc. We expect them to respect us, when we do not have any respect ourselves. Let us make 2020 a year where there is more good news than bad.

Thanks. I sometimes think networks, including weather channels, search out the most Godawful stuff they can find. A little "fair and balanced" would be nice . This helps.
