Totnes Pulse

Totnes Pulse has been around since 2016 as an independent journal supporting the local community to improve communication between everyone in the town. It has always been privately funded by Mark El-Kadhi and Peter Shearn. More recently many things have changed; There is an alarming rise in dis-information and an almost total lack of local scrutiny on people and institutions that have power over us. To address this, The Totnes Pulse has been formalised into a Community Interest Company (CIC). The core principles are seeking the truth, scientific and independent facts, upholding the principles of democracy, and giving voice and agency to the community through a journal that offers a truly independent position with both professional reporting and what is known as “Citizen Journalism”.
