"Dowser’s mission is to become the first independent media outlet dedicated to covering the field of social innovation. We distinguish ourselves from resources that currently exist in many ways: We illustrate how people are building solutions to social problems. We are interested in ideas and practical details told in an entertaining way; we will reach mainstream users, not just a niche readership; in order to gain traction with the mainstream media as a whole, we will move away from framing stories of social innovation as ‘good news,’ or stories of ‘heroes’ as some news outlets do. We will carry out our goals through interviews, audio slideshows, videos, and related articles that uncover stories of social change." - David Bornstein (www.changemakers.com)
