At Good News, our goal is to amplify constructive stories, scientific progress, environmental breakthroughs, and community resilience from around the world. This Editorial Policy defines the standards guiding our aggregation, filtering, and publishing practices.
1. Solutions Journalism Approach
We practice constructive journalism. Rather than focusing exclusively on crisis or sensationalism, our coverage highlights human agency, problem-solving, technological advancement, and social progress.
2. Source Selection & Indexing Standards
We index stories from reputable international news outlets, academic research institutions, non-profit initiatives, and verified independent publications. Feeds are evaluated based on:
- Factual Integrity: Reliance on verifiable data, expert commentary, or primary research.
- Constructive Focus: Clear emphasis on progress, solutions, or positive human impact.
- Editorial Independence: Complete separation from promotional press releases, undisclosed sponsored content, or clickbait farms.
3. Transparency & Attribution
Respecting original publishers and authors is central to our aggregation model:
- Every indexed article clearly displays its originating publisher when this is the case.
- Direct outbound links are prominently placed on every card and detail page to encourage readers to visit the original reporting source.
- Excerpts and summaries are provided under standard informative fair-use guidelines.
4. Corrections & Source Feedback
We hold our automated curation pipeline to high accuracy standards. If an indexed article is updated by the original publisher or flagged for factual inaccuracies, our system updates the record accordingly. Publishers or readers wishing to request source updates, corrections, or feed removals can contact us via our contact page.
