Goodnewspaper: The Play Edition

We’re thrilled to announce the newest issue of the Goodnewspaper: the first-ever Play Edition! In this issue, we’re celebrating good news about the power of having fun, experiencing pleasure, and good-old-fashioned play.

In creating this issue, we realized that play isn’t frivolous, but rather fundamental in helping us find the solutions in the world — and help us feel like more connected, creative humans in the process!

The reality is that there are massive, heartbreaking challenges in all parts of the world — and it’s also true that we need new approaches to confronting them — and that may just involve a little playfulness and creativity.

In this issue, you’ll read about:

🛝 Young people who are designing more inclusive and sustainable playgrounds

🎈 The idea of “playtivism” and how we can craft more meaningful messages about issues that matter when we have fun

🧸 Play therapy and its healing impact on children and adults alike

📚 Oliver Jeffers’ new picture book, designed for adults

🎢 And so, so much more!

We hope these stories will motivate you to make a little newspaper hat when you’re done reading, swing on a playground, buy a pack of crayons, or build something with Legos. We hope they provide a breath of fresh air — and a potent reminder of how infusing our actions with a bit of curiosity, play, and creativity can make a big difference in the world.
