Ethical Hedonist Magazine Awarded Social Enterprise Status
Ethical Hedonist Awarded Social Enterprise Status.
I am very proud to share some important and exciting news! Ethical Hedonist Magazine has been awarded social enterprise status by Social Enterprise UK. We are now a social enterprise media business for the work we do as an organic and sustainable magazine to inspire an exciting world of sustainable cities and local, organic and biodynamic communities and to champion the arts and creative industries for people and the health of our planet.
Good Journalism for People and Planet
We do this through the power of #goodjournalism, storytelling and the craft of long-form feature writing – because good storytelling never goes out of fashion. We have also been awarded social enterprise status for the mentoring and internship programme we have run since the start for university students studying for a degree in journalism, with a special interest in mental health and wellbeing at university. We are now forging a relationship with the school of journalism and communications @KingstonUniversity and we have also worked with students from Winchester School of Art, Birmingham University and Cambridge University.
Our Goal is to Inspire More Organic, Biodynamic and Fair-trade Consumption
Given the current state of our democracies – it has never been more important to support #goodjournalism and to understand and appreciate the difference between real journalism which is about ideas, carried out by trained, talented and experienced journalists with a code of ethics (Our editor is a member of the NUJ – National Union of Journalists) and fake news and content marketing fuelled by giant, faceless corporations who are trying to sell you something by stealth or to influence your political decision making.
Let’s Collaborate More
Given that the internet and social media is awash with fake news and content marketing masquerading as ‘news’ it is time for journalists and ethical media to stand up for ideas and storytelling and to encourage you to adopt our independent sustainable arts, food and fashion magazine. With your help, our goal is to reach many more readers and do more with the hash tags #goodjournalism #journalismmatters #realnews and #scent so that we can help more and more organic, biodynamic, circular economy and fair -trade pioneers and sustainable companies to transform our world. We also want to support and collaborate with more journalists, filmmakers, actors, composers, artists, and musicians to tell the stories of our time. When we come together and act collaboratively, we can achieve anything.
