The future is shaped by the stories we choose to tell today.
We're living through an extraordinary paradox. Never before have we been so connected, yet so many of us have never felt so alone. Everywhere we turn we're bombarded by stories of crisis, conflict and catastrophe. We doomscroll through bad news. Our screens and news feeds compete for our attention, while fear, polarisation and outrage dominate the conversation. Our imagination of the future is being narrowed.
Stories don't simply describe reality.
They shape what feels possible.
I believe, if we want to change the world, we need to change the narrative.
That's why I created News From the Future.
It's an invitation to help shape the future we'd like to wake up to by becoming a citizen journalist from the future.
Instead of waiting for experts to tell us what tomorrow might look like, News From the Future invites all of us to imagine a future worth building—and to report back from it. Because until we can see a different future, it's very difficult to create one.
The stories are inspired by the remarkable people, ideas and innovations already emerging around us: an eight-year-old girl asking why every child doesn't have a home and inspiring a new movement; communities finding new ways to reconnect and belong; and ocean lovers restoring coral reefs once thought beyond saving.
Through articles, conversations, talks, workshops and a growing living collection of futures worth building, News From the Future is making those stories visible—expanding what feels possible and inviting more people to become Futuremakers.
This is just the beginning.
The future is shaped by the stories we choose to tell today.
