| 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. |
