Where are the headlines about EA’s successes?

There's a well-established bias in general in media towards negative reporting - it's just what people are more interested in/animated by (see: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1908369116) It's the same reason why negative stuff tends to get shared more on FB and social media in general, iirc.

Basically, it's not an EA-specific issue. When was the last time you read a story about (virtually all) planes not crashing when they take off, or unemployment not being a problem for the vast majority of the population?

I think it's probably true that EA organizations could do better at engaging with the media, but here are a few recent headlines:

1. FDA approval puts lab-grown meat one step closer to your dinner plate
2. Commission to propose EU-wide phaseout of male chick killing
3. BURGER KING: "1 IN 3 WHOPPERS SOLD IN BELGIUM IS VEGGIE"
4. Alvea to Develop New DNA Vaccine Against SARS-CoV-2 Variants
5. The rise and rise of GiveDirectly
