inspiring news

About a month ago, received a message from Jarda about his Inspiring News project. It was an invitation to be one of his reporters for the project.

"I am running a small project to re-connect my friends and family from all around the world around co-creating inspiring news broadcast from everyday events experienced on 12 August 2008. By doing so I would like to

- provide an alternative to current choice of news in media
- connect to people in different parts of my life to each other and re-connect with them myself
- inspire people to find beauty in an ordinary day

The plan is to have 100 people going through their normal day on that date, get inspired by something that happens to them (from small to big things) and send a sms, email, video or photograph to inspiringnews@googlemail.com which will serve as input to a news broadcast the next day.

You can find all the information on www.jardadokoupil.com/inspiringnews.html

I would love each of you to become reporter/spectator."

The first thoughts that came to my mind is that this is a way cool project :) It's hard to get inspiring news these days; or do we even get it nowadays? If you were to read the newspapers these day, most of the time you get reports of the bad stuffs which is happening all around the world. Sometimes, I wonder why so? Why not publish more inspiring stories?

There is definitely lots of inspiring happenings/events all around us; it's just that we might not take the time to recognize nor appreciate them. It would be good if we would have a daily boost of inspiring news - Aha! an entrepreneurial idea ;D

Here, you can find the pdf compilation of all the stories for you to download and read. Enjoy the inspiring news broadcast which happened at 7.30 pm GMT on 13 August.
