A short YouTube monologue by Nusseir (CEO of NAS Daily) arguing mainstream media ignores positive stories from places like Kenya and expressing his mission to use NAS Daily to amplify underreported uplifting stories; he frames this as addressing an imbalance of negative vs. positive coverage and describes his goal to find and tell many such stories.
Chapters
Does a journalist ever go to Kenya to highlight a Kenyan entrepreneur? Like, did the ever mainstream media know where Kenya is on the map? If you just make a video about somebody and you get them 10 million views about their story, this can change their life forever. You know, people that look like me do not belong in Hollywood. I don't belong in journalism either. I don't belong in New York media. My goal in life is to go find the next NAS Daily and tell their story. There's a lot of stories around the world that nobody's paying attention to. Nobody gives a shit, man. Nobody gives a shit about anybody, you know? You know, a journal journalist only cares about Kenya when there's a bomb attack, right? That's what I'm trying to say is for every story about a bomb attack in Kenya, there's a thousand stories about a heartwarming improvement in Kenya. So we need a thousand stories for every one negative story. And I just think that right now it's like a thousand negative stories for zero positive stories. That's the hole I want NAS Daily to fill. This is the opportunity I see and I'm loving it.
