The happiness media forgot

Media usually strives for striking headlines, that´s what we think people want. It is important for media to show sufferings and disasters but there is always another side to it, not many things or situations are black and white. “The Happiness Media Forgot” is a complement to today´s media coverage, we want to show a more dignified and accurate image of the people in Ethiopia, Uganda and Egypt. /Magnus Laupa, Stefan Laupa & Ronnie Kronblad.
