Dobré noviny
https://www.dobrenoviny.sk/
Dobré noviny publishes positive news on current events, the economy, sports, and culture from Slovakia and the world, avoiding violence and negative information from politics.
The newsroom combats the everyday negativity of news by publishing positive information and stories. The team has grown significantly and started a regional radio broadcasting focused on good news.
However, the website is still, by far, its most important project.
