Can anyone here help me find a specific type of Good News articles/stories?

I need to create another "Help a DUer" post soon, so I'm hesitant to post this in GD, asking for help with this.

I specifically want to find examples of positive, encouraging news as it concerns politicians (local, state, national, even other countries) doing something good, something positive. Corey Booker is an example of a politician getting involved very directly to help constituents, yet other things he has done or taken a stand on are worthy of criticism. I'll have to weigh the good with the bad in the attempt to share examples of how things can be done differently...how we can do better.

Government in general has such a negative image (with good reason), that I'd like to curate examples of when government DOES work for the majority of the people, or even the majority of the people in local communities. Really, any type of good news -- say within the last year -- as it concerns politics/policies, government and politicians themselves.

I've Googled to try to find such a site that already exists, to no avail (so many keywords could apply to what is deemed "good" news).

I'm going to try a few other curation tools but thought I'd post this request here.

Thanks in advance.
