On the Up: How can we find the positives in an increasingly negative world?
About this episode
The world can feel like a dark and gloomy place at times, particularly at the moment.
With wars, economic uncertainty and certain politicians always generating headlines, its hard to avoid feeling down.
But in amongst all this doom and gloom, there are plenty of stories worth celebrating in New Zealand – from stars on the rise to businesses making it work in a tough environment.
The New Zealand Herald is spotlighting some of these stories in a new editorial campaign, On the Up.
Today on The Front Page, the Herald’s Chief Content Officer publishing, Murray Kirkness, is with us to explain the thinking behind this series.
And later, we get advice from psychologist Dougal Sutherland on how to reset our minds and focus on the positive news out there.

You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
