About Good News of the Day

Good News of the Day publishes at least 20 good news stories every morning. Each one is true, recent and credited to the outlet that reported it.

What we include

A story must have been published in the last seven days and be at least one of these:

• Human goodness: kindness, rescue, generosity, community, courage.
• Science progress: a discovery, a working technology, a conservation win.
• Health progress: a trial result, an approval, a disease in decline, access widened.
• Milestones: prizes such as the Nobel, records, species rediscovered or recovered, firsts.

What we leave out

Tragedy with a silver lining, celebrity gossip, advertising dressed as news, partisan point-scoring, unverified viral claims, and stories whose only source is a social media post.

How stories are written

Stories are short summaries in our own words, written by an open-source language model running on our own computer, then checked by code before anything is published. Every number, name and date must appear in the source. No passage may copy the source's wording. Science and health stories state how far the work has got: a lab study, an animal study, a human trial, an approval, or in use.

If fewer than 20 stories pass those checks, no edition is published that day.

Credit and copyright

Every story names and links its source. Material from openly licensed or public-domain sources is adapted under their licences; everything else is summarised in our own words with at most one short, attributed quotation. See sources and corrections.
