A living atlas of positive news
Meridia aggregates good news from hundreds of sources worldwide, processes each story with AI, and places it on an interactive map — so you can see the good happening everywhere.
Mission
News feeds are dominated by conflict, crisis, and catastrophe — not because the world is only bad, but because negativity drives engagement. Meridia exists to rebalance the picture. We surface the positive stories that traditional media under-reports: scientific breakthroughs, environmental victories, community kindness, and human rights milestones.
Every story is placed on a map because good news happens somewhere. Seeing it geographically reveals patterns invisible in a traditional feed: which regions lead in conservation, where medical breakthroughs cluster, how community initiatives spread across borders.
How it works
Ingest
We monitor hundreds of RSS feeds, news APIs, and curated sources for positive stories in any language.
AI Analysis
Each article is processed by AI to determine sentiment, category, geographic location, and geometry type (point, zone, or journey).
Geocode
Locations are resolved to coordinates. Area stories become highlighted zones. Cross-border stories become journey arcs.
Map
Published stories appear on the interactive map as color-coded markers, zones, or arcs — filterable by category, time, and region.
Three ways to see a story
Point
A single location — a city, a lab, a park. Most stories are points.
Zone
An area — a national park restored, a reef recovering, a region going renewable.
Journey
Origin to destination — wildlife migration, aid delivery, cultural exchange.
11 Categories
Every story is classified into one of eleven color-coded categories:
