«Only bad news is good news»: This slogan is well known. The media has a reputation for primarily reporting on the bad things in the world. Polls show that the majority of people see the world too negatively. They overestimate crime and underestimate progress in fighting world hunger. That bothered Han Langeslag. And it gave him the idea to start a magazine that would spread more hope. In 2016, Perspective Daily went online.
