The concept of this programme is: ‘Making life easier for everyone’. A society where everyone can live more easily is a society where I can live more easily. If mothers can live more easily, children can too. If the elderly can live more easily, young people can too. If it is easier for minorities to live, it is easier for the majority to live. If it is easier for the vulnerable to live, it is easier for the powerful to live. If it is easier for animals and plants to live, it is easier for humans to live. Rather than relying entirely on someone else, we help one another. We want this programme to be one that helps create a society where everyone can live more easily. That is why we decided on the programme name: news every. news every. is for everyday life.
