Research shows that a positive outlook can increase creativity, generosity and create an increased awareness of our interconnectedness, common values and goals.
Our mission is to draw attention to initiatives and people that have already and/or currently are changing our world for the better, to help connect people and lead discussion for a better future.
Media has more often than not been full of sad, sinister and depressing events. Headlines are often full of news of murder, disasters and failures even though these are rare occurrences. Good news gets drowned out in this noise.
This constant negativity, seen by readers affects the way we view the world. It leads to a thought process which thinks of the world to be without possibilities and hope. Overall, it leads us to believe less in co-operation and more in separation. Reading the news, it is not difficult to see that this is not only happening on a global and national scale but also within communities, families and the individuals being affected.
The world, however, is full of great initiatives, progress and unlimited possibilities.
VGood.News started as a project in 2019. We noticed how people would only talk about how the world is a dangerous place and will only become worse. Even family members only talked of this world leading to nothing good and how not to become a part of it. Their outlook was negative. This has had a significant impact on us, our lives and the choices we made. We have thought about the large number of people that may think this way and may be stuck in life because of this kind of thought process.
We shine a light on good events that would have otherwise passed by in the background. Our journalism focuses on quality, reporting all that is good in our world.
