Where do I find positive news?

In the last months I've started to incorporate in each of my newsletter links to 3 positive news that happened during the last week.
It's an exercice in optimism that I really like as it counterbalances what you read about in classical news outlets which is usually all that doesn't work well in the world.
But where do I find those news? Here are my favorite sources so far:
Positive News Magazine: a magazine from the UK that comes in print but also shares articles in digital form. The website offers a weekly positive news review that I really like.
Good News: a blog run from Germany. There is an english version of the website but it's less up to date than the German one. Each day there are new positive news. It's a lot about Germany, but still there are more international news here and there.
Other publications: I really like the articles from The Verge and try to read from time the Swiss and International news in french from the public media RTS in Switzerland. Not much positive news in both of those but from time to time there is an article that sticks out.
Perplexity and Google if I can't find any: When I can't find any positive news that resonates with me on these website during the week, then I try to ask Perplexity, an AI search engin what are the positive news of the week for each continent. A lot of the time, the sources aren't good or the summary are wrong, but I often end up finding at least one good news. Or I do a classical search on Google for "Positive News" and filter the search results for pages that were published in the last week.
I'm still looking for more positive news sources, so if you have any that you know, let me know.
