Better News Media
« on: May 22, 2022, 07:19:51 am »
Media for Honest Communication (MHC)

- The world needs better Media.
- People are divided against each other, because they don't know each others' needs and concerns.
- People of all major groups need to speak and listen to each other in order to understand and treat each other humanely.
- We need a self-organizing alternative grassroots nonprofit media, which I refer to here as the GRAM.
- Each segment of society should have reps who will honestly report each group's major concerns to the GRAM, which would report directly to the public.
- Some major groups that seem relevant in the U.S. are:
Anti-imperialists
Religious Right
Progressives
Libertarians
Civil Rights Supporters
Alternative Health Users
Environmentalists
Special Interests
Alternative Science Supporters
Foreigners
- MHC is looking for people to be reps for each such group. The reps report their groups' main concerns and most important info, which the major media are not reporting.
- MHC will begin operating via the internet.
- Our main uncertainties seem to be re:
1. what are some of the best ways to find good people to be reps for the major groups? and
2. how could MHC's info be disseminated most thoroughly to the public?

- Please Reply on the GRAM Blog.

AIM: Promote optimum communication for understanding and harmony among all groups.
PLAN for creating a better alternative medium:
_a1. Ask on forums for members to be reporters & sources to report on major concerns of these major groups: Anti-imperialists, Religious Right, Libertarians, Civil Rights Folks, Environmentalists, Special Interests, Alternative Science, Foreign Citizens
- Also ask these major groups to provide reporters
- Explain rationale: to provide a better medium that's nonprofit that reports each group's main concerns honestly, to promote greater understanding and harmony among all groups
_a2. Give reporters guidelines
_a3. Get a webpage for the reports
_a4. Have reporters submit reports to the webpage or to me or an editor
_a5. Organize the reports
_a6. Send the reports to forums, blogs, email subscribers & an archive
_b7. Teach reporters NVC Sociocracy
_b8. Ask techs to team up to make weekly youtube report videos
_c9. Ask radio & tv stations to broadcast weekly reports
_c10. Ask major groups for donations for their reporters
_c11. Ask for more reporters to do daily reports instead of weekly
_c12. Ask for pollsters to poll major groups for greater accuracy
_d13. Promote NVC Sociocracy to all groups via the reports etc
_d14. Plan to prevent major attacks on the medium by opponents

NOTE ON NEED FOR REPORTERS: Honest Reporters Wanted!
- The world needs better Media for Honest Communication.
- MHC, a nonprofit group, will report major news that the major media ignore.
- It is a new alternative medium different from other alternatives, because it seeks to inform the public of all major groups' main concerns and views.
- Our view is that people of all major groups need to speak and listen to each other in order to understand and treat each other humanely.
- Initially MHC will report news in the U.S. from these groups:
Anti-imperialists
Religious Right
Libertarians
Civil Rights Supporters
Environmentalists
Special Interests
Alternative Science Supporters
Foreigners
- Can you see the value of an alternative media that seeks to aid understanding among all groups?
- If so, is there one of these groups that you'd like to report news for?
- We want to have a team to represent each group.
- Can you assemble a 3 or more person team to cooperatively report weekly on one of the above groups?
