Is negative news losing its grip?

In this episode of Spin Nation, Laurel Ostfield and Emmanuel Caisse sit down with financial journalist and TikTok influencer, Vishesh Raisinghani, to unpack why positive, constructive news is gaining traction on TikTok — and what that means for the future of Canadian media.

Known as MapleDealer on TikTok, Vishesh explains:
• Why younger audiences are leaving traditional news
• How personal branding is reshaping journalism
• Why authenticity— not institutions — now drives influence
• The gap positive news is filling in Canada

In a media environment dominated by outrage, his message is simple: “Canada Isn't broken.”
