About Brightcast
Our Mission
Brightcast was born from a simple observation: traditional news media focuses overwhelmingly on problems, crises, and conflicts, leaving readers anxious, stressed, and disconnected from the positive progress happening around the world.
Our mission is to transform how people consume news by delivering verified, solution-focused stories that inspire hope, improve mental wellbeing, and restore faith in humanity—without sacrificing journalistic integrity or ignoring important issues.
What Makes Us Different
AI-Powered Curation
We use advanced artificial intelligence to analyze thousands of articles daily, filtering for constructive journalism that highlights solutions, progress, and positive outcomes. Our Brightcast Intelligence Score (BIS) ensures every story meets our high standards for positivity, reach, and verification.
Mental Health Focus
Designed in collaboration with mental health professionals, Brightcast counters news anxiety by showing readers the good happening in the world. Research shows that consuming positive news reduces cortisol levels, boosts mood, and improves overall wellbeing.
Verified Sources Only
Every article comes from trusted publishers committed to accuracy and constructive journalism. We partner with reputable sources that prioritize solutions-focused reporting and human progress.
Our Story
