Our Purpose
Our intent is to provide you with timely news and resources from the leading edge of human achievement. The conventional media focuses almost entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction. While this represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience, it dominates the media and therefore molds our individual thoughts and collective consciousness. Since we know that "form follows thought," it is only logical that as we continue to collectively focus on failure, we will continue to create more of the same.

The world faces many challenges and it is important to acknowledge these and deal with them. The conventional press and most of the alternative press are doing an excellent job of bringing these to our attention.

Our intent is to report on events, activities, achievements, project and people who represent the highest and best of human endeavor and what we can achieve, both individually and collectively. We believe that this represents the true nature of who we are.

Our purpose is not only to inform and inspire, but to provide cross cultural models from around the world as to what people are doing to solve world problems and create new options.

Positive News completely shares these aims and objectives with those of GVN. We see the Global Village as those throughout the world who have seen a vision of a new era and are dedicated into bringing it into reality.

Hazel Henderson Presents TV’s Ethical Marketplace

Hazel Henderson is recording an important, new television series, Ethical Marketplace. It will initially be shown on stations affiliated to America’s Public Broadcasting Service and will be available for transmission worldwide.

Hazel Henderson, has been at the forefront of new economic thinking for the last two decades since the publication of her first book, Politics of the Solar Age, Alternatives to Economics. She says: “This new financial series is designed as a platform to raise the global visibility of the growing sustainability sectors: renewable energy, eco-efficiency, socially-responsible investing, corporate social responsibility, new indicators of wealth, progress and quality of life.

“The Ethical Marketplace series is steered by a global editorial board of experts and will benchmark the highest standards, highlight the most ethical companies, executives, the cleanest, greenest technologies and the entrepreneurs, investors, employees, consumers and citizens fuelling this drive toward more ethical 21st century markets. The Information Age has morphed into the Age of Truth. We learn that the values that drive well-functioning markets are: trust, honesty, transparency, fidelity in contracts, human rights, service, stewardship of all resources and the environment. All companies featured on Ethical Marketplace will be screened by rigorous social, ethical and environmental auditing standards.

The programmes will also be available for broadcasting in Europe, Latin America and Asia.

Hazel Henderson’s latest book, ‘Planetary Citizenship’, a dialogue between Hazel and Japanese Buddhist leader, Daisaku Ikeda is available though Website: www.Amazon.com  or www.hazelhenderson.com
