About Good News Network

Good News Network is an online news platform dedicated exclusively to positive, uplifting, and solutions-focused stories from around the world. Founded in 1997 by Geri Weis-Corbley, it operates the website goodnewsnetwork.org, publishes original reporting and curated good-news articles, and offers companion products such as the Good News Network mobile app and the Good News Break email newsletter. The organization’s mission is to provide an antidote to the negativity of traditional news by highlighting inspiring people, scientific and medical breakthroughs, environmental progress, and everyday acts of kindness.([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoodNewsNetwork))

A “Goood-news” or “goood news com” descriptor on a card statement typically reflects a recurring membership or subscription payment tied to Good News Network’s digital offerings. According to consumer-billing analysis, these descriptors are often compressed versions of “Good News Network” or “goodnewsnetwork.org,” and they can arise from website memberships processed via PayPal, gift memberships, or in-app subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store for an ad-free app experience (commonly around $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year).([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/goood-news-com-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-stop-it/)) Charges may appear monthly or annually depending on the plan selected and will auto-renew until cancelled.

If you see this charge and have questions, first check for a Good News Network account or app subscription under your email addresses, PayPal profile, or Apple App Store subscriptions. Website members can manage or cancel memberships through their Good News Network account or by canceling the associated recurring payment in PayPal, while App Store subscribers must cancel in their iOS subscription settings.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/goood-news-com-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-stop-it/)) Keep copies of email receipts from goodnewsnetwork.org or Apple, and if you still don’t recognize the charge, you can reach out to Good News Network using the contact details on their site or via the mailing address on their membership page, then escalate to your card issuer for a dispute if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the “Goood-news” or “goood news com” charge on my card statement?

A descriptor like “Goood-news” or “goood news com” is most often a compressed billing label for Good News Network, which runs the positive-news site goodnewsnetwork.org and related digital products. The charge usually reflects a recurring website membership or an in-app subscription to the Good News Network app.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/goood-news-com-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-stop-it/))

What subscription amounts are typically billed by Good News Network?

Common charge amounts include low-dollar monthly or annual membership fees from the website (for example, options such as $2 per month or $15 per year, plus higher support tiers), as well as $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year for an ad-free experience in the Good News Network mobile app. Your exact amount will depend on which plan you selected and whether it’s monthly or annual.([goodnewsnetwork.org](https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/contribute/membership/?utm_source=openai))

How do I cancel a Good News Network subscription started on their website?

If you signed up on goodnewsnetwork.org, log into your account and review your membership settings, then cancel or switch off auto-renew there. For recurring payments handled through PayPal, you must also log into PayPal and cancel the automatic payment under your pre-approved payments or subscriptions list so future charges stop.([goodnewsnetwork.org](https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/contribute/membership/?utm_source=openai))

How do I cancel a Good News Network subscription started through the Apple App Store?

For an iOS app subscription, open your device’s Settings, tap your Apple ID name, then Subscriptions. Locate the Good News Network subscription (which may show pricing like $2.99/month or $29.99/year) and tap Cancel. Apple bills these directly through your App Store account, so canceling must be done in your Apple subscription settings rather than on the Good News Network website.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/goood-news-com-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-stop-it/))

Does Good News Network offer an ad-free experience, and could that be why I’m being charged?

Yes. Website members can log in to remove ads from goodnewsnetwork.org, and the mobile app offers an ad-free mode via in-app subscription. If you recently upgraded for an ad-free experience on the site or in the app, the “Goood-news” charge you’re seeing is likely that membership or app subscription renewing.([goodnewsnetwork.org](https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/contribute/membership/?utm_source=openai))

How can I verify that a Goood-news charge is legitimate and not fraud?

Start by searching your email inboxes for receipts from Good News Network or Apple referencing the same amount and date range, and check your accounts on goodnewsnetwork.org, PayPal, and your iOS subscriptions page for an active membership or app subscription.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/goood-news-com-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-stop-it/)) If you still can’t link the charge to an account you control, contact Good News Network using the details on their site and then your card issuer to investigate or dispute the transaction.

Can I get a refund for a Good News Network charge I didn’t mean to incur?

Refunds are handled through the channel where you subscribed. For website memberships, you’ll need to contact Good News Network directly via their contact page or mailing address and request cancellation and, if appropriate, a refund for the most recent charge. For App Store purchases, Apple generally controls refunds; you can use Apple’s Report a Problem portal or the App Store purchase history to request a refund for unintended renewals, subject to Apple’s policies.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/goood-news-com-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-stop-it/))

Why does the descriptor say “Goood-news” instead of “Good News Network”?

Card networks and banks limit statement descriptors to roughly 20–25 characters and may further truncate or alter them, so a merchant’s name or URL like “goodnewsnetwork.org” can end up shortened and slightly misspelled as “goood news com” or “Goood-news.” This garbled text is normal for many online subscriptions, even though it can be confusing when you first see it.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/goood-news-com-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-stop-it/))
