Good News' ministry is dedicated to redeeming the values of the mass media of entertainment with undertakings in television, radio, and publications. Under the movieguide banner, it hosts a website that offers reviews of movies from a biblical perspective. Each year Good News hosts an awards gala in hollywood, where it rewards the best family-friendly movies and tv shows in the previous year, as well as the most moral and christ-centered films for mature audiences.
