Good Good Good Review: Is the Goodnewspaper Subscription Worth It?

Most days, the news cycle leaves you feeling like the world is on fire with nothing but bad news. Good Good Good set out to fix that — not with empty positivity, but with real, verified good news stories delivered as a print (and digital) newspaper you can actually hold, read slowly, and share. I went through their site, their Goodnewspaper subscription page, and their FAQ to see exactly what you get and what it costs.

What Is Good Good Good?

Good Good Good is a media company built around a simple idea, inspired by Mister Rogers: "Look for the helpers." The site publishes daily good news articles across categories like Climate Change, LGBTQ+, Mental Health, Racial Justice, and Animals, plus a free daily "Goodnewsletter" email that over 53,000 people already subscribe to. Their flagship product is the Goodnewspaper — a monthly print newspaper filled with dozens of good news stories, action steps, and original art from guest illustrators.

Core Features

The Goodnewspaper

Each monthly issue is packed with dozens of good news stories, each paired with concrete action steps so reading doesn't stop at just "feeling good." Issues often follow themes — like The Sustainability Edition, The Mental Health Edition, The Veterans Edition, The Refugees Edition, and The Animals Edition.

Free Centerfold Art

Every issue includes a free centerfold poster featuring an inspiring quote illustrated by a guest artist, past contributors have included Morgan Harper Nichols, Dani Coke, and Steffi Lynn.

Digital + Print Access

Subscribers get access to all past digital editions of the Goodnewspaper immediately upon signing up, in addition to (or instead of) the printed copy mailed to their home each month.

Sustainably Printed

The Goodnewspaper is printed in the USA on recycled paper with soy-based inks. Good Good Good is Climate Label Certified, meaning the company has measured, reduced, and offset its entire carbon footprint, and donates 1% of all sales to environmental nonprofits as a certified member of 1% for the Planet.

Good News Resources & Community

Beyond the newspaper, the site hosts curated resource hubs — best good news podcasts, quotes, take-action guides, ethical shopping guides — plus a Community subscription tier for readers who want deeper involvement.

Pricing

Good Good Good runs a simple three-tier subscription model for the Goodnewspaper, with the first month free on two of the three tiers, and up to 25% savings when billed annually instead of monthly:

• Digital — first month free, renews at $5/month: access to all digital Goodnewspapers, no newsletter advertisements, and it supports GGG's mission.
• Print (Most Popular) — first month free, renews at $8/month: everything in Digital plus a monthly print Goodnewspaper mailed to your home, free shipping in the USA, your name printed in the issue, and certified carbon-neutral printing.
• Community — first month $8, renews at $15/month: everything in Print plus 4 extra print copies (5 total) each month to share with others, showing extra support for GGG's mission.

International readers can add a print subscription for an extra $5 USD shipping fee (no discount available on international shipping). Good Good Good also offers gift subscriptions of 3, 6, or 12 months for anyone who wants to give the Goodnewspaper to someone else. All subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and you can cancel anytime.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

FAQ

How much does a Good Good Good subscription cost?

The Digital tier renews at $5/month, the Print tier (most popular) renews at $8/month, and the Community tier starts at $8 for the first month and renews at $15/month. Digital and Print both include a free first month, and annual billing saves 25% versus monthly.

Why is the Goodnewspaper print instead of digital only?

Good Good Good explains that print slows readers down so good news can actually sink in, countering our brains' natural negativity bias. Each printed issue also includes art you can hang on your wall and physically gift to someone who needs some good news.

What's inside each issue of the Goodnewspaper?

Each issue includes dozens of good news stories with action steps, a free centerfold poster illustrated by a guest artist, and extra fun content like crosswords, comics, or recipes.

Is the Goodnewspaper printed sustainably?

Yes — it's printed in the USA on recycled paper with soy-based inks, and Good Good Good is Climate Label Certified, having measured, reduced, and offset its entire carbon footprint.

Can I give the Goodnewspaper as a gift?

Yes, Good Good Good offers 3, 6, or 12-month gift subscriptions for people who want to share good news with someone they love (no discount available on gift subscriptions).

Final Verdict

Good Good Good earns its place for anyone who's tired of doomscrolling but still wants to stay informed — it turns "good news" into a tangible, well-designed monthly ritual instead of just another feel-good Instagram post. The free first month on the Digital and Print tiers makes it an easy, low-risk way to see whether a monthly dose of verified good news (with real action steps attached) is worth a spot in your mailbox or inbox.
