Spreading
positivity

We look to form positive, online communities centered around the idea that, given the option, people prefer to read about the good things going on in their community instead of the often-negative slant given by traditional media.

Trusted by
the community

Started in Northwest Indiana, we are creating hyper-local, community-based networks in every city, township, county, or region that welcomes the positive, local, force of good that we are.

    We started working with GNL about a decade ago. They just talked about positive things and I thought, "This is just refreshing." That’s why I like it and that’s why I support it. That’s why Hammond’s supported it for the past decade.

    I was looking for outlets to spread our good news and the stories about our schools and the first name that came to mind was GNL.

    I started following GreatNews.Life because it covered local races and always took photos. From a public relations (PR) standpoint, GreatNews.Life was contributing a lot of great content and highlighting some awesome businesses in the area. I started coming to GreatNews.Life for that content, too. A little later, Oak Partners ended up being one of those partners, which helped us expand our reach to people who we weren’t necessarily marketing to on a regular basis.

    We’ve been working with GNL for the last 12 years and I want my brand to be associated with positive news. They promote high school kids doing good things; they promote local leaders doing good things; and they promote organizations doing even better things. So how can you not get behind an organization that’s nothing but positive?

    I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working for GNL for many years now. The organization has brought great value not only to myself professionally but to my organization in that it brings all kinds of like minded people together. There is great advertising and marketing that occurs. Chris Mahlmann and his entire team are tremendous individuals who care about the communities they operate in. It makes my day better being able to browse this sort of medium and really love everything that GNL stands for.
