INTERVIEW: Eva Karpati, a champion of Toronto’s everyday heroes (VIDEO)
Upon hearing some friends complain about Toronto after a local violent crime hit the news, Eva Karpati became determined to show the world that Toronto is a “wonderful city filled with amazing people.” She wanted those people with a negative view of our city to see the positive side of Toronto. This gave her the inspiration to launch Good News Toronto, a publication that celebrates our local everyday heroes.
In my recent interview with Eva Karpati, publisher/editor, Good News Toronto, on my talk show Extraordinary Women TV with Shannon Skinner , she discusses the importance of telling “good news” stories, why she feels mainstream media perpetuates fear and what she is doing to change that. I invite you to watch the interview (below):
