We\u2019ve all spent the last few months hearing pretty much nothing but bad news\u2026from the coronavirus pandemic, to earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires, severe storms, stock market crashes, cancelled graduations, and on and on and on\u2026with every news station full of stories of gloom and doom is it really that surprising that people are struggling with feelings of anxiety and depression? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What we need are news outlets that share more good news \u2013 positive stories of people helping people, acts of kindness being done, the good that is going on in the world… Thank heaven that celebrity actor John Krasinski (The Office, 17 Hours, The Quiet Place, Jack Ryan, etc) saw this need and decided to use his star power to do something about it. John started a weekly news show called \u201cSome Good News<\/a>\u201d \u2013 a show dedicated entirely to sharing good news. And the fact that his first episode which aired just over a month ago has already gotten over 17 million views on YouTube tells you exactly how hungry the world is for this kind of positivity! <\/p>\n\n\n\n In each episode John shares feel good stories, happy videos, fun photos and tweets, and John video conferences in an array of everyday people as well as the biggest celebrities and he shares uplifting stories. He brings attention to acts of kindness people are doing for one another, fun things families are doing during quarantine, and sharing how people are finding joy and happiness despite these trying circumstances of the pandemic. There\u2019s no negativity on the show, no spreading of gloom and doom, no bashing of others or making jokes at someone\u2019s expense\u2026it\u2019s just fun loving, happy, feel good messages about the good news happening in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My family is a HUGE fan of John and his new show so\nyou can imagine my daughter\u2019s excitement when she was contacted and asked to be\non John\u2019s 6th<\/sup> episode highlighting the graduating class of 2020 from\ncollege. That episode just aired tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The description of tonight\u2019s episode from the Some\nGood News YouTube channel states: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJohn Krasinski highlights some good news around the\nworld (including weather from Ryan Reynolds) and sends the class of 2020 off\nwith advice from Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Malala Yousafzai, and Jon\nStewart. And thank you Samuel L. Jackson for the SGN dramatic re-enactment!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is tonight\u2019s episode graduation portion (fyi – my daughter Ashley Hill appears at 7:43 in the top left corner.
