The News These Days

Why read headlines that make you want to hide under your bed? At YorkGen, we bring you news that won’t make you question humanity.



You know that feeling when you’ve stuck your head inside a cheese grater, mid-flight, during heavy turbulence? No? Lucky you, but if you’ve read the news recently, I’m sure you can imagine. It’s all a bit like that. Every headline screams doom and gloom: stabbings, assaults, and mysterious disappearances. It's a buffet of bad news with a side order of existential dread. "What's happening to the world?" you wonder, while trying to enjoy your morning coffee without choking on the chaos.


Of course, you’re supposed to stay informed, right? Be aware of your surroundings, keep your finger on the pulse of society. But let's be honest: Has knowing every grim detail of human misfortune ever actually made your life better? I mean, you knowing about that crime across town or the political squabble halfway around the globe - did it change anything? Nope. All it did was send your blood pressure soaring like you were binge-watching a horror movie marathon.


And here's the kicker: maybe, just maybe, all this bad news isn’t accidental. Maybe the daily torrent of despair has a purpose. Maybe it’s designed to make you afraid, make you feel like the world is a dark, unpredictable place. But what’s the end game? To keep you cowering in a corner, clutching your smartphone like it’s a life raft?


Honestly, what’s the point? The world doesn’t improve because you’re aware of all the bad things happening in it. You’re not suddenly Batman, flying into action after reading the latest headline. If anything, you’re more likely to turn into Batman’s moody arch-nemesis, The Joker, sulking about how "people are the worst."


Here’s a wild thought: what if we focused on the good stuff for a change? I know, I know, good news is about as common in the media as unicorns at a dog show. But it's out there. People are still doing incredible, uplifting, downright inspiring things - things that could actually give you a reason to believe in humanity again. But where’s the coverage? Oh, right - buried under a pile of rubbish news.


That’s where we come in. We’ve got a simple rule for our news: good news only. Crazy, right? But it works. Instead of feeding you a steady diet of fear and frustration, we focus on stories that make York a better place - because guess what? There’s plenty of good stuff happening if you care to look.


Call us idealists, but we believe that a little positivity can go a long way. In fact, it’s the only thing that ever has. Inspiration, not fear, is what sparks change. So while the rest of the world might be preoccupied with throwing cheese graters at you, we’ll be over here, serving up something a bit more uplifting. Because York deserves better - and so do you.
