Firstly, I concur with the Guardian’s diverse and balanced coverage of events. Whilst horrified by unfolding events in Ukraine, it would be helpful and less depressing if newsfeed sequences were rotated regularly, with more “light-relief” subject-matter interspersed with hard-hitting content. We’re just emerging from a pandemic, to be hit by a war, then rising interest rates, winter, an energy crisis and most-likely poverty for many people. Articles with cheerful human-interest stories, interesting food, affordable exhibitions, scenic winter walks, affordable decorations, any good news re: enhanced decarbonisation due to energy crisis..or basically any silver-lining newsfeeds would be appreciated. People’s mental health will be dented over winter. Please through happy photos etc try to enhance wellbeing. We lived and worked in SW London for 9 years, and loved its diversity. That is when I started reading the Guardian. Now living in Ireland, I subscribe to the Irish Examiner- A Cork- based newspaper. Wondering if you could exchange/ share international content with good media outlets like it and Irish Times. Could it benefit both parties’ production costs, and diversity of content? Your content can be excellent, but interested in the UK political scene & lived experience at in the UK or COP27 rather than blanket coverage of bombs landing in Ukraine or glacially slow progress of US midterms. Many thanks, Una Merriman
