HelloNation's good news newswire

Good news
travels faster.

Bad news has always found its own way around town. Good news needs someone to carry it. Hello Newswire hears it from the people who live it, on camera and in their own words, and carries it everywhere their town already reads.

Anyone can nominate. No one pays for coverage.

How good news travels

Told once. Carried everywhere.

One story, told by someone who was there, lands everywhere that town already reads.

  1. Someone notices.

    A neighbor, a coach, a chamber, a school. Anyone can nominate what's going right, and it never costs a thing.

  2. It's told on camera.

    Someone from the town tells it where it happened, in their own words.

  3. An editor checks it.

    Every story is read and checked before it runs. No one pays to be in it.

  4. It travels.

    Published here first, then carried out to where the town already reads.

Why HelloNation does this

Too often, the only news that travels is bad news.

Good news has never had a business model. No subscription, no ad product, no wire fee. So almost nobody reports it.

HelloNation has been showing up for American towns since 1987. Its parent company, CGI Digital, produces community showcase videos and streetscape banners for municipalities in all 50 states, at no cost to the community. Hello Newswire points that same commitment at the reporting.

HelloNation funds the reporting. No one buys their way in.
