Brand Newz host Martin said, Theres as much good news as there is bad news to air about our communities, but the present mass media infrastructure has skewed reporting to disproportionately highlight negative activity in certain sectors of society. I dont knock negative news, because its part of the information needed to survive; however, for the sake of balance, the human spirit needs good news as well. The two-minute news briefs presented by Martin on BrandNewz.com also appear on the My RDC (formerly UPN) network — the first of several planned nationwide syndicates.
Hp4 Digital Works & Solutions implemented and developed the Brand Newz blueprint to showcase talented individuals who might otherwise be overlooked. The Brand Newz slogan is Whats Good With You?, reinforcing the programs positive and informative scope.
