About Nice News

Nice News is a daily newsletter that curates and delivers positive news stories each morning. Founded by Sean Devlin in 2022, the newsletter was created during the COVID-19 pandemic when Devlin found himself overwhelmed by negative news cycles and sought to provide an alternative that focuses on uplifting and inspiring stories. The newsletter covers scientific discoveries, health and wellness breakthroughs, everyday heroes, and other feel-good stories that showcase positive developments around the world.

The newsletter achieved rapid growth, reaching 750,000 subscribers within 2 years of launch and crossing 1 million subscribers by 2025. Devlin, who was part of the founding team at Optimism and helped launch brands like The Discoverer and Interesting Facts, applied his newsletter-building expertise to Nice News. The publication became profitable in September 2023 and has more than doubled its revenue since then through focused sales and partnership efforts. Nice News maintains a loyal community of readers who start their mornings with curated positive content delivered directly to their inbox.
