Mirror More Hopeful

The Mirror is committed to more hopeful news. We recognise the news agenda can sometimes feel overwhelmingly negative. And while it's our job to keep you informed and hold those in power to account, we are making a commitment to also report more hopeful news. 

We will celebrate the people, places and movements that are bringing good into the world and, more than that, we will dig beneath the surface of important issues with the aim of finding hope. We will be firm in our convictions - but always fair-minded. By sharing solutions to problems, we can do more good and feel better about the world around us.
