From the Editor

Greetings and welcome to "The Social Entrepreneurship Journalist Newsletter", an e-newsletter that will be covering anything to do with social entrepreneurship in a unique way.

This, of course, happens to be the first edition of the newsletter, a Service of Frontline Media, Registration # MBRS1001822.

Wow! This is actually a dream coming true for me personally, because I've been harbouring this idea since my childhood days, as it it appears I was bitten by the journalistic bug early in my life.

Back in the days, I religiously devoured current affairs magazines and books like Newsweek, Reader's Digest, the Plain Truth, Mahogany, Parade, the Student's Companion, and many others in Makwika Village, Hwange, Zimbabwe, where I grew up.

Old friends like Kampeni Mangani, Jah Kazombo Mwale, Shepherd Sithole, Nelson Nkonde, Moffat Phiri, and many more would gladly attest to my insatiable appetite for current affairs magazines and newspapers in particular, and books in general.

 (I remember how we used to storm our local library after school in Makwika back in the days)
Any wonder I have ended up becoming an award-winning journalist in my own right.

But then that was just the background to my love for writing and reading, which has grown over the years.

But why this e-newsletter?

Incidentally, the answer to this question comes from the answer to yet another question: Who are Social Entrepreneurs?

Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. They are ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and offering new ideas for wide-scale change.

Rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, social entrepreneurs find what is not working and solve the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, and persuading entire societies to take new leaps.

Social entrepreneurs (whether for profit or non-profit) often seem to be possessed by their ideas, committing their lives to changing the direction of their field. They are both visionaries and ultimate realists, concerned with the practical implementation of their vision above all else.

These social entrepreneurs are found in every society.

Now, these are the kind of people this newsletter will be writing about! And it is also for this reason that I regard myself a social entrepreneurship journalist.

And it is for this one reason, and one reason alone, that our focus will be on instilling in readers that spirit of social entrepreneurship, whether full time or part-time.

That is why this newsletter will be packed with lots of tips on how you can become a social entrepreneur regardless of your current status.

I personally hope that you'll find information in this newsletter valuable in one way or the other.
For a starter, these will form part of our regular departments/sections:
