Positive News

The Positive News website is a media organization dedicated to reporting on positive and uplifting stories from around the world. They aim to provide a counterbalance to the often negative and sensationalist news coverage found in mainstream media.

Their reporting covers a wide range of topics, including environmental conservation, social justice, sustainable living, and personal wellbeing. The website features a mix of news articles, opinion pieces, and in-depth features, all with a focus on the positive impact that individuals and communities can have on the world.

The goal of Positive News is to inspire and inform readers, and to provide a more balanced view of the world by highlighting the good news that often goes unreported. They believe that positive news can help to create a more optimistic and engaged society, and that it is an essential part of a healthy media diet.
