Why we do what we do

Why we do what we do.

We are seeing, hearing and listening to more 24.7 bad news than ever before in world history. 

With rocketing levels of anxiety, depression and other mental health issues, caused by 24.7 modern life, phone and social media addiction, news has to change.

The Good News Post is the world’s first newspaper designed also to practically boost the happiness, calm and mental health of its readers.

‘The Post’ is ’News That’s Good For You!’. 

Our Jill Dando News reporters help with the stories. They are aged 8-18 in schools from Somerset to Malawi. They are finding and publishing good news across the world. 

Former top BBC journalist Jill Dando, the smiling face of journalism

All in memory of former BBC TV journalist Jill Dando who was murdered in 1999. She started her journalism life at Worle Community School Academy aged 13 in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England – which is where our Jill Dando News began. It has now spread across Britain and the world.

The beginnings of the Jill Dando News Centre and the Good News Post in Jill’s old school.

Positive, humble and kind, Jill was the smiling face of journalism. 

The Post aims to bring that smile back to the world by training thousands of young people globally to do good news journalism. 

Jill’s brother, Nigel (pictured left below) and other professional journalists from across Britain and America, including the BBC’s Fiona Bruce, help in the training of the young reporters. It’s Jill Dando-style journalism.
