Smarter Communities Media founder, Martin Whybrow

Smarter Communities Media

Smarter Communities Media was set up to provide independent and in-depth reporting on inspiring stories from around the globe that are bringing long-lasting, positive change. Driven by long-standing writer, Martin Whybrow, we talk to the people that are leading the way to new ways of living. This includes countering the climate and ecological crises, building fairer business models, and creating happier and more equal communities.

We look at topics across the broad categories of environment, transport, society and economy. In these times of climate, ecological and societal crises, we need new narratives as well as drawing on past wisdom. There are many individuals, communities and organisations that are showing how we can move forwards but the changes need to be massively scaled up in light of such urgent challenges.

In part, Smarter Communities Media is about joining up the dots, linking the fragmented efforts, seeing what works and what does not, highlighting what could be replicated and refined. There is a large body of work building up here, from multiple writers – please make contact, let us know what you think, do you have a story to tell?

Here’s our promise

We never regurgitate press releases, we never take contributions that are not independent, no content is paid for, everything is written based on its own merits. Every story has the voice of those involved. In other words, good old fashioned journalism.

Interested in writing for us?

If you are independent and would like to write for Smarter Communities Media, then please make contact. If you are working on a project or event (we have an extensive section on the latter – https://smartercommunities.media/events/) that you think would be of interest, then similarly we’d love to hear from you.
