At the moment I feal that it's a lost cause. There is no longer any connection between the people running the ads and the communities they are impacting. When the printing press was invented, the people writing the paper and publishing stories tended to live in the communities they published in. As media empires started being built in the 1980s and 1990s, local ownership vanished, and local content disappeared as well. The internet then amplified this effect as the advertising empires of Google and Facebook began to grow in the '00s. I don't think this is healthy for humanity. And I don't think we have the collective political will to fix this.
