About us
Good news is still news.
Hooray News publishes real, uplifting stories from around the world. Every one is checked, cited and approved by a human editor.
Most news is built to keep you worried. That isn’t because good things stopped happening. Every day, scientists solve problems, animals come back from the brink, towns pull together and strangers help strangers. Those stories are real news too. They just get buried.
Hooray News digs them out. We find the stories with real, verifiable good news in them, check the facts, and tell them in plain English. Every story is about a real event. Every story cites its sources. And nothing goes live until our editor has read it and said yes.
What you’ll find here
- Four stories a day. Enough to brighten your morning, not enough to eat it.
- The Hooray meter. Every story gets a score from 0 to 100 for how much genuine good it carries, and a short note on why.
- Sources cited on every story, so you know where the facts come from.
What you won’t find
No partisan politics, no crime stories, no celebrity gossip and no “good news” that’s really a sad story with a silver lining. No clickbait, and no made-up quotes, ever.
Who we are
Hooray News was founded in October 2026 by Frankie Ragan, who edits every story. We’re based in Northwest Arkansas and cover good news from everywhere.
We use modern tools, including AI, to help us work quickly, and a human editor makes every call. Read how we use AI.
