Fire trucks and police cars led a procession of cars past WWII Veteran Douglas Burgess’ house in Chatham, New York to celebrate his 100th birthday.

WWII Veteran Douglas Burgess.

Mr Burgess lives in Payne Home and was overjoyed when people from the community came to mark the milestone, while also observing social-distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Burgess stood at the front door of his retirement home and waved at the parade of cars, which included emergency vehicles with flashing lights.

His advice for living a long and happy life is to: “do a little bit more than you’re supposed to do and you’ll do better. Stretch yourself and be surprised at how far you go.”

We need to be informed and the world needs to be kept accountable.

But in an era of digital disruption and falling news audiences, the media must take a different view on what news is, and how stories are constructed.

Negative emotions have served us well during an age of flight or fight. But it’s the positive emotions that drive society forward – and that is the era we are currently stepping into.

Media has the power to move society and send a positive ripple out into the world.
