Former GOOD Staffers Launch Kickstarter for New Mag

By Pandora Young on June 25, 2012 11:55 AM

Earlier this month, 8 suddenly unemployed members of the GOOD editorial team announced they were collaborating to create a single issue magazine called Tomorrow.

Do GOOD to Evoke Social Change

By Ji Hyun Park on February 24, 2012 11:47 AM

GOOD‘s mission is first and foremost, to do, well — good. The platform serves to help people learn about the world, live in it better, and accomplish what’s important to them.

So freelancers looking for a byline in the L.A.-based pub should embody ”pragmatic optimism” in their story ideas.  Tailor your pitch to be forward-thinking, creative, and solutions-oriented, said executive editor Ann Friedman.

“We want to pick apart trends and figure out where the opportunities are. We want to use personal stories to illuminate bigger issues. And we want to have fun.”
