Goodnewspaper: The Storytelling Edition

Welcome to the Storytelling Edition of the Goodnewspaper!

Stories come in all shapes and sizes — from books, lines of poetry, films, and podcasts, to ancestral folklore, cherished artifacts, and the beliefs we pass down through our families and communities that shape who we are and the values we hold.

In other words, stories are just about everything that makes us human. We are all natural storytellers who ache to be seen, heard, and documented. And this issue of the Goodnewspaper serves as a reminder of why that innate human need — and skill — is so vital to building a better future for us all.

Here’s what you can expect in this month’s issue:

📚 Good news about poetry anthologies written by unhoused communities, efforts to rebuild libraries in Gaza, and the surprising way telling embarrassing stories can change your life

🗣️ The creative ways communities around the world are keeping endangered languages alive — and why that matters

🚀 Why utopian fiction (like Project Hail Mary) has the powerful ability to transform our future

🎥 A guide to the inspiring ways Hollywood is making movies more accessible for everyone

✏️ And so much more!

After reading these stories about stories (meta, we know), you’ll walk away feeling inspired and energized, ready to leave a mark of your own.
