Monopolies buy out and shut down smaller struggling media.
This also creates news deserts and drylands where local communities are without media that reports on local news
How to decentralise the current Monopoly to redistribute power?

What is a News Ecosystem? (
Local News Lab
)
Local News and Participations Systems Map
(full map at bottom of page)
A news ecosystem, like a natural ecosystem, is made up of networks of interdependent parts. A news ecosystem consists of anchor institutions (newsrooms, universities, libraries, government agencies), infrastructure (ownership, access to broadband, media training), and networks (informal information networks, platforms, people).
Each place has a unique news ecosystem–of different types of media, library and university resources, philanthropic organizations, and more
A Guide to Assessing Your Local News System
Healthy news ecosystems are diverse, interconnected, sustainable, and deeply engaged with their communities.
Supported by Hub Organisations that help build connections between newsrooms and create new alternative networks.
Collaborative Journalism
Push for 'off-grid' and alternative networks of indepedent media separate from mainstream media.
Off-Grid news ecosystems should be self-sustaining, mutually supporting and co-evolving
Systems Journalism (
The Ecologist summaries media ecosystems
).
What stories aren't being told? What's being left out of public conversation?
