The solutions generation: the young people putting purpose first
Young western adults today are stereotyped by some as ‘snowflakes’: a group of entitled, politically correct, selfie-obsessed and emotionally vulnerable souls with no grip on the realities of the world. We think it’s time to smash those stereotypes. Meet the generation with a fire in its belly for creating a better society
Other features include: Emergency humanitarian internet • Post-mastectomy tattoos • When tenants fight back: improving renting • When social progress gets fast-tracked • Smallholder farmers • The Italian community that united to save its beloved mountain
The EU is introducing legislation that obliges manufacturers to make their products longer-lasting and easier to repair. But fearless fixers and tenacious tinkerers have long been going further, from running thriving community repair groups, to spreading tips via social media and YouTube. They fix up and spread their smarts: meet the repairers.
Other features include: Sustainable dining • The resurgence of independent UK booksellers • Celebrating black men • Ageing joyfully • The unlikely friends who brought LGBT education to Scotland • Standing up for human rights in Brazil
United Kingdom of Solutions: the people driving progress
At a time when many citizens, as well as people around the world, are feeling down on the UK, we zoom in on the progress that is happening here. From Birmingham to Belfast, where are people unearthing solutions to the challenges facing society?
Other features include: The couple who drove 20,000 miles to unite Europe through love songs • The rewilding transformation of Knepp estate • Getting kind online • The doctor who prescribes money to low-income patients • Fighting for the future of wild fish • The ‘say yes more’ movement • Going underground with nature writer Robert Macfarlane
Positive News was founded in 1993 by Shauna Crockett-Burrows as a quarterly newspaper, and she soon after established Positive News Trust, a registered educational charity.
Positive News is the magazine for good journalism about the good things that are happening. When much of the media is full of doom and gloom, instead Positive News is the first media organisation in the world that is dedicated to quality, independent reporting about what’s going right.
They are pioneers of ‘constructive journalism’ – a new approach in the media, which is about rigorous and relevant journalism that is focused on progress, possibility, and solutions. As a magazine and a movement, they are changing the news for good.
