About Us

About PositivePress News

We are a locally owned and independently operated Central Florida-based online news site that wholeheartedly believes that no good story or deed should go unpublished. Look for uplifting and inspiring stories about local faith communities, non-profits, and individuals that share our vision of positivity, as well as news and information about events and activities throughout the area.

Mission

Our mission is to create and share stories and content that speaks to the heart, in answer to the glut of negative news that permeates the newspaper industry today. We believe there are those who yearn for a venue of only the “good stuff,” so that’s all you’ll ever find in each online edition.

We welcome submissions from our followers on local events, programs and club meetings. Keep submissions brief and remember to cover the five whys: who, what, where, when and why.
