Quantum Shift TV is a 21st Century storyteller renewing the cultural values of community, care and interconnectedness through the use of leading edge technology and citizen journalism. We have been inspired by research from the Max Plank Institute in Germany confirming our belief that people are more likely to take positive action when they are seen to be doing so.

Ultimately we want to shift this culture from 'me' to 'we' through a socially responsible media business that shares the stories of those who positively impact social and environmental change on our planet.

For those who are already taking action, we will be their voice!
For those who want to act, but don't know how, we will be their inspiration!
For those who look for corporate social responsible leadership, we will be the example!

It is time for Quantum Shift TV.

We embrace Michelangelo's credo "criticize by creating" and we believe that the business of doing good is also good business. As business people we believe corporations can be entrepreneurial vehicles for social and environmental change. Our values are reflected in our legal corporate structure which provides our board with a dual mandate: a social one and a financial one. This assures we apply the highest environmental and social standards in our business and allocated a significant amount of our profits to community investments.

A culture's behavior is based on its values and beliefs, which in turn are based on, and reinforced by, its stories. In today's world, the media is our storyteller. The way in which the media presents news stories shapes the values of our children and teenagers and reinforces those values in adults.

So what happens when traditional newsrooms focus on death, catastrophe, violence, conflict and controversy rather than on the daily stories about success, breakthroughs, the perseverance of the human spirit and the caring in our communities? The public is aware of the negative impact TV has on our society and especially on children. The American psychiatric association states, "The debate is over... for the last 3 decades, the one predominant finding in research on the mass media is that exposure to media portrayals of violence increases aggressive behavior in children." Is that how we want to educate our children? Is that the world we truly want to create?

The media no longer just shapes our culture; it is our culture.

"Children used to grow up in a home where parents told most of the stories. Today television tells most of the stories to most of the people most of the time."
