About the Author In 1609 the world's first newspaper arguably was published in Strausbourg. It was aptly named Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien - which translates into Account of all distinguished and commendable stories. Unfortunately over the next 400 years news media has mutated into an unrecognizable form far removed from its original DNA - to become sensationalist scandalous and downright polarizing.It was this vicious cycle that The Better India sought to break. It was the first to show the world that solutions based stories are equally important in a world that is obsessed with sensationalism.The endeavour of The Better India is to shine the light on the positive the good the kind and thereby restoring the faith of humanity in the humanity of humans.The Better India is the world's largest platform that uses the power of stories to drive large-scale social and economic change.
