I’m breathing a sigh of relief after completing the latest print version of Eco news. Independent media is facing an interesting future, although it is inherently under-funded. And that’s where we need greater collaboration between the growing array of media outlets. A lack of funding often means we work many hours as volunteers.

As Eco news is an environmental and conservation-based newspaper, it’s all to easy to slip into a repetitive mode of screaming about the injustices. But, that’s the point of newspapers – to inform the public, especially about the consequences of government decisions. However, at Eco news we always try and bring stories that show, not tell. Stories that show and inspire. With better resources we hope to bring more stories about the quiet achievers – those who live a life with at least some thought about their surrounding environment.

You can read the latest online version at Eco online. With all the new content, I’ll slowly introduce more stories over the coming weeks.

I would love to hear from others out there who are in a similar niche. We need to come together, and in doing so, perhaps we can share resources.
