GreatNews.Life

GreatNews.life looks to form positive, online communities centered around the idea that, given the option, users prefer to read about the good things going on in their community instead of the often-negative slant given to traditional media. We take a new, positive approach to online publishing that creates new opportunities to spread good news about communities. We don't create websites. We create online communities large enough to support major advertising, but small enough to remain hyper-local. Our networks include NWI.Life, Valpo.Life, Portage.Life, and LaPorteCounty.Life, and we are expanding into the South Bend Indiana, St. Joseph County area in 2021, and to addtional communities in Indiana, the Midwest, and beyond in the future.
