Sometimes We Can All Use Some Good News
One great irony of the World Wide Web is that the wonder of “information at our fingertips” brings with it various challenges, including fake news, astroturfing, cyber bullying, and the rapid proliferation of bad news. The latter, at least, is not so much about being manipulated by the media and those with power – it is just a digitally-enhanced version of the old adage, “no news is good news”.
While there is no sense in hiding from the reality of the bad things that happen every day, there is something important to be said for trying harder to balance the bad with some good. We should be sharing uplifting, inspiring, or even just amusing news items, to help us, and our students, remember that the world is beautiful place full of people striving to help each other. Good outweighs evil and chaos every day, and all of that bad news is a really a much smaller story than the good things that happen around us all the time.
Fortunately, there are actually many sites on the web that focus exclusively on GOOD news! Click over to a few of these, consider subscribing, share them with your students, and let's keep fighting the GOOD fight!
Good News Web Sites
Note: While the phrase “The Good News” had often been associated with Christian religions, I have focused on sites that do not push a secular agenda, in order to appeal to a breadth of readers.

- Good News from MSN
- The GoodNewsLetter from goodgoodgood.co
- Good News from TODAY

Hi there, pleased to see an article like this. I run a few Inspirational Websites (Pleasant Poems and Beautiful Pictures Etc) and decided to take up the baton in May 2020 with a new website for Aussies I had on hold, to place lots of GOOD NEWS CONTENT on there for people in addition to what I had in mind. There are Interesting Articles, Nature and Gardening Articles, some Fun ones etc Natural Health Articles (not Pandemic related except for some positive things we can do the Medicos are not taught). This website is proving to be quite popular over the months, a lot of Aussies go there and lots of people from Overseas too. It occurred to me that maybe I should let you know. Look for OursAustralia.Com People like HealthAndInspirations.Com as well – I have Recipe Collections with 100s of Recipes……and special Pinterest Folders with Lots of Gorgeous Animals and Cute Baby Animals in a Menu called Beauty of Creation……lots of Gardening Info and Ideas in a separate Pinterest Gardening menu. Hope this isn’t cheeky, not meant to be. Enjoy!
There is too much focus on the negative these days. More positive news would be a benefit to everyone\’s mental well being. Great post!
Interesting post-Kelly, Thanks for sharing.
