From Positive News:

We love news that inspires us. We know you do too.

For the last 22 years Positive News has pioneered journalism that shines a light on kindness, cooperation, creativity and innovation. We’ve brought stories of positive change to hundreds of thousands of people and increasingly, we are inspiring other media as well.
But, like every news organisation, we have to adapt. We need to innovate to become sustainable and to meet the growing demand for our journalism. And just like we have pioneered a more positive form of journalism, we are now pioneering a new way to run a media business.
We’re becoming the first crowdfunded global media cooperative; owned by our readers and journalists. And we want you to be part of it!

What’s the story?

By becoming a cooperative and issuing community shares, we aim to raise a minimum of £200,000 to secure and grow Positive News.

Why become a cooperative?

Most of the news media in the UK is owned by a handful of corporations and proprietors. But instead, as a cooperative, Positive News will be owned by hundreds or thousands of people with an equal say on important matters, meaning it’s a more democratic form of ownership. We will then be ultimately accountable to you, our readers, ensuring that we always report in your interests. And because we are a cooperative, our profits will be reinvested in achieving the aims of Positive News and serving our community.
