There’s more to the world than bad news.
I'm Glenn, the person behind Good News Gilbert.
People often tell me the news is all bad. I don’t think that’s the whole picture. The problems are real. So are the people helping neighbours, tackling challenges and making things better. Those stories deserve to be seen too.
I started Gilbert to share that fuller picture. It focuses on what people are doing about serious problems, the evidence of what’s helping and where the limits are.
I took the idea to Simon Squibb's Doorbell of Dreams in London and found people willing to help me build it. My hope is simple: to help you feel informed, connected and a little more hopeful.

How the stories happen.
Gilbert uses AI to find, write and publish stories automatically. I set the direction, but I don’t personally read every story before it goes live.
