Global Conferences Are Failing Us

The world’s most high-profile gatherings aren’t solving the crises they were built to address.
From COP summits to Davos to the World Social Forum—too many meetings, too few solutions.

Why it matters:
We don’t have time for performative panels and diplomatic selfies. What we need is collaborative action — now.

The Problem with “Conference Culture”

COP = More Talk, Less Action: 30 years of climate summits, and emissions are still rising.
Davos for the 1%: The World Economic Forum claims to shape the future—but the future it’s shaping looks like the past.
Social Forums Stall: The World Social Forum preaches change but struggles with implementation and global impact.
All Share a Flaw: Top-down models. Closed rooms. Speeches, not systems.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them.” – Albert Einstein

Enter: MobilizedNews.com

A living media network—not just another event.

MobilizedNews.com replaces the “summit” with a 24/7 global collaboration platform.
Think of it as a World’s Fair of Solutions — open-source, decentralized, and action-driven.

Journalism + documentary + grassroots organizing
Decentralized participation, not corporate gatekeeping
Multilingual tools to connect across borders
A system that empowers creation — not consumption

“I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man’s.” – William Blake

What Makes It Different

Always-on: No more waiting for once-a-year events to address urgent issues.
Community-led: Local stories and global solutions co-created by frontline voices.
️ Toolkits over talking points: Real guides to build local food systems, energy co-ops, regenerative economies.
Participate, don’t spectate: Public assemblies, collaborative journalism, and shared intelligence.

What You Can Do

Join the network: MobilizedNews.com is open to contributors, creators, and changemakers.
Flip the script: Pitch a solution, report a story, or collaborate across continents.
Create, don’t conform: Build your own system with tools that work for people, not profit.
Spread the model: Share this platform with networks who are ready to act, not just talk.

The Bottom Line

Old models aren’t broken — they were built not to change.
It’s time to move from pageantry to participation. From talk to tools.
MobilizedNews.com is not another conference. It’s the platform to co-create a future that works — for all of us.

The old newsroom playbook is broken. If journalism wants to stay relevant, it must meet people where they are — mobile, visual, fast, and interactive.

The News Revolution Is Here

The way we get our news has changed — fast.
A new global report reveals that smartphones, influencers, and AI now shape how people learn about the world. And trust? It’s still on shaky ground.

Why it matters:
Media habits are shifting dramatically — and traditional news outlets risk becoming irrelevant if they don’t adapt.

The Big Picture

Mobile dominates: 39% in the U.S. start their day with news on phones — 57% for those under 35.
Social video > headlines: TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram are now core news platforms for Gen Z.
Trust is low: Only 40% globally say they trust most news most of the time.
Avoidance is up: 4 in 10 actively avoid the news — too negative, too confusing.

New Players, New Rules

️ Influencers rising: Joe Rogan reaches over 20% of weekly news consumers in the U.S.
AI enters the chat: 15% of under-25s now use ChatGPT or Gemini for news.
Subscriptions stall: Only 17% pay for news in rich countries — and growth is flat.

Around the World

Asia & Africa leap ahead: Countries like India and Thailand lead in video-first and AI-assisted news habits.
UK lags behind: Just 3% use AI weekly for news.
Alerts matter: Push notifications are one of the last direct channels for publishers — but easily ignored or blocked.

What’s Next

Video is non-negotiable.
Mobile-first design is critical.
AI is here to stay — but must be transparent.
Creators are competitors — and collaborators.
Business models need a reboot.

The takeaway:
The old newsroom playbook is broken. If journalism wants to stay relevant, it must meet people where they are — mobile, visual, fast, and interactive.

Mobilized News is a (r)Evolutionary solutions network with daily programming to engage and connect the communities improving the quality of life where they are now.

Launched in 2018 as a communications portal for investigative journalists and scientists, due to the ineffective and inefficiencies of international forums and conferences, we transformed into a production cooperative producing over 90 television shows and two documentaries, “We the People, We the Power” and We Are One.”

Since then, we have become a leading platform for artists, producers, scientists, investigative journalists, media makers and earth-shakers seeking timely and accurate information dedicated to improving the quality of life through open collaboration and cooperation.

Mobilized News (Mobilized)   is digital media portal that amplifies the stories of what’s worldwide.  We provide community leaders evidence based conversations that are accurate and timely while empowering people to think and act through whole system thinking and doing.

Less talking. More Doing.
You can rely on our international teams of collaborators in creation to provide you with unlimited access to  news without the noise to see the world as it is and what it can become.   Since we take no money from special interest groups, our programming is created in partnership with the communities who are seeking to share their wisdom with others.

Additionally, we provide you with an ecosystem of opportunity–a world of difference– featuring curated recommendations, in-depth conversations, immersive content and, when necessary–a little laughter along the way.

Connect the Dots
Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein and many others have said that everything is connected to everything. But time after time, we continue to experience the breakdown of social and public systems, services, structures and policies.

Connect the Dots is our series that connects outcomes and ongoing crises to their root cause.  By understanding the cause of a problem and/or crises, we can discover how to create the systems, services, structures and policies that serve us–without causing harm to our living planet.

Flip the Script
Tell the story of how empowered people are improving the quality of life by flipping the script–instead of continuing down the same path, we’re building a better pathway.  Discover best practices from people on the front lines of change and how to bring it to life where you are, now.
