The world is not made of bad news alone.
Every day, across four countries, we look for the stories that prove otherwise — and give them back the stage they deserve.
We believe that what goes right is news, too.
That hope is not naivety — it is information that was missing.
And that credit belongs, always, to whoever told the story first.

How we choose what you see
We listen to the right sources
We do not scrape the whole internet. Country by country, we follow a hand-picked group of serious news outlets — newspapers, radio, TV, local newsrooms. If a source stops publishing with quality, it leaves the list.
We separate the wheat from the noise
Before any editorial decision, a quality filter sets aside what does not belong: clickbait headlines, paywall teasers, duplicates, empty press releases. Only what survives earns the next question.
We ask the question that matters
For every story that remains we ask one simple thing: does this make someone’s day better? A discovery, a recovery, a community that stood up. The answer comes from an automatic classifier — and it is the classifier that publishes. We stay on top of it: we review the borderline calls, correct what slips through, and keep tuning the criteria.
We do not hide the world’s bad news — it simply is not our job. There are excellent newspapers for that; some of them are on our list of sources.
Credit always goes to the source.
Uplifting is an aggregator, not a newspaper. From each story we show only the essentials — the headline and a short summary — and a clearly visible link to whoever told it first. The click, the reading time and the credit belong to the newsroom that did the work.
- We never republish the full text of an article.
- The source’s name and logo appear next to every story.
- Any source can ask to be removed — just write to us.
