Ready for More Good News? Try Gimundo.Com
June 25th 2007 01:33
I recently wrote a post about a good news site called HappyNews.Com; and today, I'd like to share another such site with my readers. Personally, I am of the opinion that there's far too little positive news in the world today, and I applaud such sites as these which make it their goal to spread the good news far and wide. Bravo, Gimundo! Bravissimo, HappyNews.Com!
Gimundo is a site that can spark a writer's imagination, filling it with noble notions and inspirational ideas for writing projects that can bring out the best in our readers, encouraging them to do what they can to help make the world a better place.
With categories such as Home, News, Heroes, Health, Celebrities, Green, Family, Pets, and Video, Gimundo captures the best news on many different topics, providing stories that are of interest to a wide variety of individuals.
In addition to the stories always posted to the site, Gimundo also offers a free daily newsletter filled with--you guessed it!--more good news. One of the site's founders also writes a weekly blog, "The Good Spin," in which he takes a look at the news and discusses its positive impact on society as a whole.
While Gimundo does offer its readers the opportunity to submit stories to the site, they do not offer payment for them. They also require that those people who desire to contribute their stories register to become members of the site in order to have access to all the site's community features.
I did, however, see an ad once, on one of the writers' job listing sites, asking for writers to contribute to Gimundo for pay. This may have been a one-time thing, or it could happen again in the future. So, if you're interested in this type of writing, keep your eye on the job listing sites, in case this site advertises there again.
(You may also want to check out HappyNews.Com, which also accepts positive news stories from writers, or citizen journalists, offering each contributor a tip jar, whereby readers can make donations to writers whose stories they enjoy.)
Check out Gimundo. It's a great site! You might just get inspired--if not about writing, then maybe about life!
Happy reading!
