Why We Need a New Media Marketplace

Empowering the world to create better, together.

Why We Need a New Media Marketplace

The current media economy is broken. Creators are trapped in systems built for profit, not progress.

The problem

Legacy media is failing us
Big platforms amplify outrage, not solutions. Creators fight for scraps of ad revenue while algorithms bury meaningful content.

Gatekeepers control the narrative
A few corporations decide what stories get told — and which ones never make it past the pitch.

Clickbait wins, truth loses
Sensationalism spreads faster than facts. Real-world solutions get lost in the noise.

Why it matters

We don’t just need more content — we need better systems.
Ones that reward truth, uplift communities, and scale what works.

Enter: A new kind of marketplace

Remixable stories — built to localize, adapt, and amplify
Co-production tools — connect creators across borders
Solutions-first content — focused on climate, health, cities, and peace
Global newswire — open to local wisdom, not just press releases
Transparent licensing — creators stay in control

The big idea

If we want better outcomes, we need better media infrastructure.
A platform designed by and for the people solving problems — not the ones selling panic.

Be part of it: MobilizedNews.com is building the future of interconnected storytelling — together.
Share. Remix. Collaborate. Amplify.

This is the media that builds a better world.

What Exists Now (and Why It’s Incomplete)

TV/Film/Podcast Marketplaces: These are mainly industry-focused and not built for solution-focused storytelling:

  • MIPCOM / MIPTV (Global): Marketplaces for buying/selling TV formats and series.
  • Podfront / Podchaser Pro: Podcast ad marketplaces, not story distribution networks.
  • AFM (American Film Market): Focus on films, not news or impact content.
  • Radiotopia / PRX: Support podcast storytelling, but don’t function as open marketplaces.

✅ Good for: Distribution deals
Missing: Solutions focus, interactivity, global-local collaboration

Newswire Services

Mostly corporate or crisis-driven:

  • PR Newswire, BusinessWire: Corporate press distribution
  • News Direct: A newer alternative, but still commercial-first
  • Reuters Connect, AP Newswire: Traditional journalism syndication, not open to grassroots creators

✅ Good for: Corporate or mainstream news releases
Missing: Access for independent or regenerative media makers
