Good News Magazine
Building Stronger Communities
Through positive stories
Celebrating Good News, Big and Small
Only Good News
The news cycle is saturated with negativity, but we know there is still so much good in the world and our community. Good News Magazine is a breath of fresh air to remind you of all the good happening right here.
Community Focused
Our writers, photographers, and designers work every month to uncover the local stories you may not have heard before. We shine the spotlight on people and organizations that make our community strong.
Keepsake Quality
Keep a copy in your living room or on your nightstand to revisit whenever you need a dose of good news. Unlike a newspaper, our beautiful magazines are designed to be kept as a memento and flipped through many times.
Good News, Great Reviews
What Our Readers Have to Say!

“I enjoyed it so much”
– Darlene West Moyers
“I enjoyed reading your new Good News Magazine. I would like to highlight Tina Neely’s article “When empty is full.” She skillfully put a huge amount of information in a small easy to read space. To relay the story she told and the impact it can have on every individual would normally take pages upon pages. I may just cut it out and frame it. The last sentence is perfect. Wow!”
– Pat
“First, let me just say how thoroughly impressed I am with your wonderful magazine! It is a positive, uplifting, high-quality publication that I savor and save month-to-month for reference to businesses, programs and individuals that are highlighted. Thank you for your fine, professional approach to providing Bedford County with “Good News!””
– Kay Bartley
“I just want you to know how much I enjoyed reading your magazine. I do not watch the news anymore. Every story is so depressing. Thank you for sharing good news and making us feel better about the community around us and the good people who live here and share their lives with us. Great job keep up your good work.”
– Eva Lewis
