In a first, Khaleej Times has appointed Saman Haziq as the paper's Happiness Editor to (also) provide readers with the full complement of news related to success, nobility, achievement, progress, good governance and social uplift.
News has many dimensions; sometimes its positive aspects are not explored enough by reporters and editors. Such positive and constructive stories from across the world will be curated by Saman and appear under the title Pursuit of Happiness.
Says Saman, who has been with this newspaper since 2012: "It's time we change our perspective, appreciate and celebrate this phenomenal thing called Life. In keeping with the aim of making Dubai the happiest city of the world, Khaleej Times is making an effort to give our readers a reason to smile everyday."
Not only is Khaleej Times' initiative an attempt to enhance readers' mood, it is also a novel way to rejuvenate journalism. Journalism is not only a medium for information, investigation and analysis. Significantly, it is also a platform for inspiration and empowerment.
The UAE has appointed a Happiness Minister to bring about a change in gross domestic wellness. Realising the importance of the government's change initiative, and the need to cascade it to its own readers, Khaleej Times has put happiness atop its change agenda.
Positivity is the first sign of change. It is truly the uplift of journalism from a news-biased activity to an outcome-based one. It is a step towards creating a happier readership.
