Gimundo Proclaims June 21 'National Good News Day'.

Selects First Day of Summer to Celebrate Good News; Unveils New Features for 'Good News' Supplement and Online Community

LOS ANGELES -- Summer's very arrival is good news for most people, with its longer days, vacation getaways and quality family time. But Gimundo (http://www.gimundo.com), a daily "good news" supplement, is taking it even further. The company today announced that it will welcome summer by declaring the first day of the season, June 21, to be National Good News Day.

Gimundo today also unveiled several new additions to its daily newsletter and corresponding online community - including funny and touching videos; a "Founder's Blog" offering a unique perspective on good news, written by Emmy-nominated TV writer Chris Case; and a "Daily Goodness" feature that will highlight a website, video or an inspiring quote in each edition of the daily newsletter.

"All we want to do is draw attention to the fact that there are good news stories everywhere you turn," said Keith Cohn, Gimundo CEO. "We certainly don't have a monopoly on them, but we're making it our business to find them and deliver them to people's inboxes every morning. In reality, every day is good news day. But we created National Good News Day because sometimes we need an official reminder, the same way Thanksgiving helps us remember everything we have to be grateful for."

In preparation for National Good News Day, Gimundo will release the results of a survey that asked 1,000 Americans what good deeds they received over the past year. The company will announce the results next Tuesday, June 19.

Founded by an Emmy-nominated TV writer and an Internet marketing veteran, Gimundo's vision is simple: offer a respite from the barrage of bad news by reporting real news stories that inspire hope and celebrate all things good. Recent stories include "Retired Teacher Brings School to Kids on Skid Row," "Fifth-Grader Saves Choking Teacher," and "Finally, a Plastic We Can Feel Good About."

This focus on the positive is a trend that's gaining momentum. A group of bloggers is voluntarily creating a Code of Civility. People all over the country finally said "enough is enough" to Don Imus and his constant negativity. Gail Schiller of the Hollywood Reporter points to a growing audience for so-called "transformational" films.

Gimundo also recently launched an online movie called "The Trouble Tree," which recounts a carpenter's bad day. It's a story that ultimately celebrates family and reminds us what's most important in life. The 2 1/2-minute video features exquisite visuals and a soothing score, and is available to view for free at http://www.gimundo.com under "video," or by clicking here.
