Corporate media in this moment is... not great.
Figuring out what takes its place is a hard problem that no one seems to have cracked. I don't know if its replacement will be very profitable, but we all lose out when media isn't working. Having a shared reality is fundamental for a healthy society.
- colechristensen 7mo agoNews organizations need to not be part of larger corporations and a nontrivial amount of their funding needs to be some kind of endowment. Media mergers need to just be illegal, Disney/Viacomm/TimeWarner (god I don't even know what the big ones are any more) need to be broken up. "we don't want to make the administration mad so our merger will be let through" is just absurd.
