During quarantine a lot of people have struggled to see the goodness in the world with everything that is going on. At times, it feels like you are truly alone in the world and the only people out there are the people that you are quarantined with. The news is filled with nothing but bad things and about the deaths of people with COVID 19. Whenever you turn on the TV, you become completely inundated with all the negative things that are happening around you. However, during these trying times, there was a light at the end of the tunnel that brought mass amounts happiness and hope to people all across the world. Some Good News(SGN) was created John Krasinski as a news channel only featuring good things that people are doing all over the world. After its first episode it blew up and became more and more popular every week. SGN became a place for people to watch all the good things that people are doing during one of the hardest times the world has seen. It united people and gave people the greatest gift someone could ever give, hope. Hope that the world is going to get through this, hope that things will get better, hope that with everything seemingly going downhill there is always some good news to be shared with the world
