Media Commons Manifesto

The Media Is Broken — We’re Building Something Better

“The love and hopes of those who came before us resides in our hearts forever; the love and hopes of present and future generations resides in our actions.”

✦ ✦ ✦

The Problem Beneath Every Problem

We are surrounded by crises—political, ecological, social. Beneath them all lies an information failure: the public can no longer trust the flow of knowledge that guides decisions.

Truth is being buried by noise, distortion, and algorithmic manipulation. Without trustworthy information, societies cannot think, decide, unite, or act.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is the person for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer exists.” — Hannah Arendt

How the Signal Was Captured

  • Consolidation: six conglomerates dominate mainstream media.
  • Algorithms over editors: engagement economics reward outrage and division.
  • Industrial PR: narrative manipulation as a service; influence replaces inquiry.
  • Independent squeeze: platform distribution throttles dissent and depth.

This is not a glitch. It is architecture. Truth is being out-distributed by propaganda.

✦ ✦ ✦

The Cost of Staying Passive

  • Fragmentation replaces social trust.
  • Consent is engineered for harmful policies.
  • Accountability disappears with narrative control.
  • Democracy becomes ceremonial without informed consent.

✦ ✦ ✦

The Shift: From Control to Collaboration

We don’t need a better algorithm; we need a better system—one designed for distributed trust.

  • Information as a public right, not a product.
  • Collaborative networks over monopolies.
  • Shared global intelligence over institutional dependency.
  • Interdependence over extraction.

What Is the Media Commons?

Public communication infrastructure built for truth, learning, collective intelligence, and systemic problem-solving.

  • Participatory, transparent, and open.
  • Connects people, data, and solutions.
  • Restores public ownership of media power.
“The medium is the message.” — Marshall McLuhan

What We’re Building with Mobilized News

  • Global network of contributors, local journalists, educators, and researchers.
  • Collaborative production studios + solutions newsroom.
  • Federated publishing (ActivityPub) for open syndication—no gatekeepers.
  • Public knowledge hubs and action layers that turn learning into change.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. Build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.” — Buckminster Fuller

Resilience through distributed networks.
Interdependence
Collaboration over competition.
Integrity
No selling access, truth, or influence.
Humanity first
People over profit, dignity over division.
