NewsPositive is developing optional paid memberships to support independent reporting about inspiring people and real progress. Membership purchases are not yet open. This FAQ explains what is free today and what is planned.
Is NewsPositive free to read?
Yes. Our ordinary news stories, community changemaker profiles and free weekly newsletter remain available without a paid membership. Join The Positive 10 free newsletter.
What is NewsPositive Supporter?
Supporter is a planned, optional way to fund more original positive journalism. The proposed introductory price is US$4 per month or US$40 per year. Planned benefits include a monthly editorial letter and occasional behind-the-scenes reporting notes. These paid subscriptions are not available for purchase yet.
What is NewsPositive Plus?
Plus is a proposed future tier at US$8 per month or US$80 per year. We intend to offer extended original interviews and carefully researched special features once there is a reliable publishing schedule. Plus is not yet available for purchase.
Why are prices shown in US dollars?
NewsPositive has an international audience. USD offers a common reference price for readers in different countries. Your bank or payment provider may apply exchange rates or charges if your card uses another currency. Actual billing terms will be shown before any paid checkout launches.
Can I subscribe to the newsletter without paying?
Absolutely. The Positive 10 newsletter is free and separate from any future membership. Joining the newsletter will not create a paid subscription.
Will NewsPositive put existing articles behind a paywall?
We intend to keep ordinary public news articles free. Future restricted content, if introduced, will be clearly labelled and limited to specially prepared premium material.
Do people have to pay or follow NewsPositive to be featured?
No. Editorial selection is independent. Paying, following, sharing, donating or purchasing through an affiliate link is never a condition for editorial consideration. Read our Editorial Policy.
How would paid members cancel?
Before accepting payment, we will publish clear terms covering account access, subscription renewal, cancellation and applicable refund arrangements, and test those processes end to end.
