NEWS IS OUR REFLECTION AND IT’S OURS TO SHAPE 🧩
​Supported journalists and engaged citizens are essential to a free and thriving society, but they're no guarantee.

To shine a light on the essential role of supported journalists and engaged citizens in a free and thriving society, Proactive Citizen provides a starting point for getting to know the structures that shape our lives, and how we relate to them. This includes media organizations, like the news, and civic institutions, like the government.

Here, it starts with a shaper. A shaper is a studied and simplified news report of an issue, paired with prompt questions and participation ideas to get involved.

Anyone can sign up to receive the newsletter, where shapers are delivered to your inbox.

Proactive Citizen is a creative project by Samantha Ventresca with support from colleagues, family, friends, creatives, and anyone motivated by proactive citizenship and creative expression. Get in touch to get involved.

Thank you for visiting. May time spent here be focused and action-inspiring.
