Brightside Report draws from 63 curated sources across positive news, motivational content, wellness, and video. Stories from these sources receive quality scoring in our editorial system.
We also accept stories from major trusted news organizations:
Each source in our registry is assigned a trust tier (Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3) based on editorial track record, factual reliability, and journalistic standards. Sources also receive a priority score (0–100) that factors into our editorial scoring system. Higher-tier sources produce stories that receive greater editorial weight.
We actively limit how many stories from any single source can appear on the homepage and in featured positions. This ensures our readers see a broad range of outlets and perspectives, rather than content dominated by one or two sources. Learn more about our diversity approach.
If you know of a credible news organization that regularly publishes positive, constructive stories and isn't on our list, we welcome suggestions. Send us a suggestion.
