Weekly news series debuts Friday, April 3 Local 10 launches \u2018Good News South Florida\u2019 WPLG Local 10 has Good News to report. Beginning this Friday, April 3, Good News South Florida will premiere on the Local 10 morning news. <\/p>\n

WPLG Local 10 has Good News to report. Beginning this Friday, April 3, Good News South Florida will premiere on the Local 10 morning news. The weekly segment will be spearheaded by Local 10 Community Relations Director Mayte Padron. <\/p>\n

A veteran of the softer side of television news, Padron has specialized in the art of goodwill and solutions-oriented storytelling for more than two decades. She\u2019s the architect of Local 10\u2019s community outreach campaigns, including the Local 10 Day of Giving, which collects nonperishable foods for nonprofits in the hunger space and The Big Bus Toy Express, which collects new, unwrapped toys for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots. Padron will continue leading those broader efforts as she takes on this new role in bringing the inspiring stories of everyday people in South Florida. <\/p>\n

Good News South Florida will shine a light on people overcoming incredible hardships, unlocking goodness in the most unlikely of places and loving their neighbors as themselves. But it\u2019s more than storytelling. It\u2019s action driven journalism. On occasion, Good News South Florida will invite Local 10 viewers to be part of the narrative and volunteer their talent, time and treasure to turn things around for someone in need. <\/p>\n

\u201cGood News South Florida will show that even when someone finds themselves in the fiery furnace of adversity, there is redemption, refuge and relief,\u201d said Padron. \u201cIt\u2019s not too good to be true. Good News is living and powerful in South Florida. Watch and be part of it.\u201d <\/p>\n
