Good News Shared
Good News Shared, a not-for-profit online platform features positive, charitable news stories from around the world. There is so much negativity in the media, so Good News Shared was set up to show people that good things happen too.
Description

Good News Shared, a not-for-profit online platform featuring positive news stories is looking for writers to contribute articles about the wonderful things people and organisations are getting up to during this challenging time.

The role's aim is to research and write articles about the positive contributions organisations are making to society.
