The Goodwire — News worth waking up for.
Welcome to The Goodwire

Good things are still happening.

The world has no shortage of places telling us what went wrong. The Goodwire exists to make sure the things going right are not ignored: kindness, courage, recovery, discovery, generosity, creativity, rescue, and progress.

The Goodwire Promise

We do not manufacture positivity. We will tell hopeful stories honestly, verify what happened, identify our sources, correct mistakes, and never disguise advertising as journalism.

From the Goodwire Desk

The first story is simple: this place now exists.

Launch edition
Editor's Note

Not everything is fine. But the good deserves to be seen, too.

The Goodwire is not here to compete blow-for-blow with every frightening headline on Earth. It is here because humanity also deserves to recognize the people helping, healing, building, rescuing, discovering, and showing up for one another.
