Shauna Crockett-Burrows

Shauna Crockett-Burrows edits Positive News, a quarterly international newspaper which began life in 1993 reporting on the people, events and influences that are helping to create a more positive future for the world and its people.

Since those early days, Positive News has gone from strength to strength. The brainchild of Shauna, the paper now has a circulation of 75,000 worldwide and continues to expand in response to a global yearning for a future organised on the principles of democracy, social justice, respect for diversity and the earth's natural resources.

One of the most widely recognised alternative newspapers, Positive News reports on issues rarely covered by the mainstream media and promotes the many enterprises that are working for a sustainable future.

The UK edition of the paper is published by Positive News Publishing Ltd, a not-for-profit company based in the United Kingdom, which has initiated several overseas editions around the world in countries including Spain, United States, Hong Kong and Argentina creating a Positive News international network. Other countries are about to follow. The newest venture is a monthly e-zine, Global Village News, which is circulated around the world.
.
Shauna has also created other publications including Living Lightly On the Earth, a colour magazine sent to Positive News subscribers and an education based magazine. She is now in the early stages of an initiative that is working with young people to create Positive Youth News, a youth-led multimedia news project.

Shauna had an early career in the theatre and local radio and then published her first magazine, Global Link Up, in the late 1970’s after her raising her family. She received the Schumacher Award for her work in 1998.
