Every story that lands on Show Me Good News is scored on a 0–100 positivity index. The score isn't subjective — it's calculated by analysing the story's title and summary against a curated list of positive and negative keywords.
Positive signals include words like breakthrough, restored, reunited, thriving, and kindness. Each positive keyword adds points. Negative signals — words like crisis, disaster, or tragedy — subtract heavily, because even a story that appears on a good-news feed can carry weight that isn't uplifting.
A story needs to score at least 55 to make the cut. The ones you see here scored higher — often much higher. The number on each card is our way of saying: this one is worth your time.
The best good news, hand-picked and delivered every morning. No doomscrolling required.
