Media Liberation Day – Global Systems Institute (GSi) Seminar Series

A special one off seminar supported by Global Systems Institute to celebrate Media Liberation Day – 5th November

IN PERSON AND ONLINE

The behaviour of malignant media owners is fuelling the world’s crises – but this power can be broken – by you. 

Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights says we have a right to accurate information. Media Revolution argues that right is being abused by the billionaire media owners. Disinformation drives division and disaster!

The Media Liberation Day GSI Seminar will explore how and what you can do to tackle this issue.

Protected by fair regulation, powered by the people and free from the influence of advertisers, billionaire owners and their algorithms:  better media exists – and is crucial to our survival.

But how? What to do before and on the day?!

1️⃣ Take Direct Action!

Billionaires are breaking our information system. Disrupt by placing a Cover Story, recording a #99Problems placard or by boycotting problematic platforms for a day/week/month/forever!

2️⃣ Be Mo-Me! 

Mo-Me (movement media) is where you support trusted news – for free! Independent media from around the world, brought together for you. Community-owned, with no ads and no algorithms. FYP-like feed. Doomscrolling is SO last season!

3️⃣ Join a News Club!

Connect. Discuss. Analyse. Protect. Get tools & support to spot disinformation, disrupt division and dispel the depression caused by malignant media …. together with other like-minded people.

Join an existing News Club or set one up where you are!

PLUS: more announcements to come on the day!

This is the moment you realise you can reclaim the story – and tell a different future.
