Full description

Scandals, conflicts, and natural disasters. If that’s what we see on TV and social media 24/7, it's no wonder we’re struggling with depression, anxiety, and apathy – and Covid has only made matters worse. Media outlets operate according to the decades-old “if it bleeds, it leads” mantra. We are more likely to pay attention to bad news, and since that’s what keeps newsrooms going, negative stories dominate the narrative. We’re here to fix this imbalance. Every day, from Monday to Friday, we browse the internet to find stories about inspiring people, innovations, and solutions to eco-social problems. The result: five good news editions a week – each made up of the six most uplifting and relevant stories from around the world. Whether it be clean energy, animal rights, recycling, social justice, biodiversity, global health, or technological advancements, we will make sure to cover all relevant aspects of life. Our app will lift the cloud of negativity, provide you with a constructive perspective on the world, and inspire you to challenge the status quo! It will be that unexpected breeze of fresh air you didn’t realize you needed to keep going. That’s a promise! And don’t forget: YOU ARE WHAT YOU READ, SO READ GOOD NEWS!
