Proximate Beta

Solutions journalism for a participatory future.

Hi! We're a new, nonprofit magazine that produces solutions journalism about emergent models for participatory problem-solving.

We are a home for stories about creative, community-driven models like
and
that shift power to those
proximate
to the problem.

In this precarious moment for democracy, climate, and the global economy, we believe the status quo, top-down way of solving problems simply isn't working.

We write about participatory problem-solving: innovative models that shift decision-making power to those proximate to the problem.

We're aiming to produce 100 articles in our first year. Watch our Patreon video to learn more about what we're doing -- or keeping scrolling to read our first articles.
