GOODnews is a curated platform for positive journalism. Every day our team carefully selects fresh, innovative, and inspiring news with positive social, economic, or environmental impact from hundreds of solutions-focused, fact-checked sources.
We believe that highlighting news with positive global impact will help to balance the often gloomy mainstream headlines, and keep our overall media diet healthy – and our anxiety in check.
Our vision is to shift our readers’ mindset by inviting them to enrich every day with informed optimism, with knowledge about inspiring solutions, technical innovations, human rights advances, and medical breakthroughs.
It’s not about painting things pink or ignoring reality. It’s about opening our eyes to the incredible things already being done, solutions that are only waiting to be scaled up, policies that are inching toward saving our planet, successful conservation stories, and human rights achievements.
There’s so much good stuff happening!
You can get your daily dose of optimism by installing our GOODnews app, visiting our website whenever you feel gloomy, or subscribing to our weekly newsletter.
GOODnews is strictly donation-based – all of our services are free of charge, which is why your support is crucial! If you can, please support our work! No matter how small, monthly donations help us plan ahead of time. We are still far from self-sufficient, so please keep spreading the word!

Your feedback is what keeps us going:
“This app is incredible. The stories that they share reassure me that our species is more about love than hate, progress than regression. The mainstream media subscribes to the “if it bleeds, it leads” philosophy, therefore, we’re inundated with bad news, but this app only shows good stuff; stuff that calms, uplifts, and unites. “

“I’m grateful to have positive stories to read each day. The app is simple and intuitive. The stories come from a variety of publishers on a good mix of topics. It’s not fluff – the subjects include real concerning problems, but the focus is on potential solutions, not the cycle of alarm and despair. “
