The media is broken – and it’s breaking us.

Owned by billionaires, wired for division, built to distract.

Print or digital – it stokes our fears, lies to us, confuses us and intentionally leaves us feeling hopeless.

The truth is: the media has failed us. Its ownership is a root cause of global collapse – and we can all see it more clearly day by day.

Around the world, rebels and reformers are rising together. There IS hope.

Artists, activists, technologists, journalists and ordinary people are coordinating – building the tools, channels, and communities needed to change the future.

A media that’s decentralised, independently owned and accountable.

A media that informs, uplifts, connects — a media that moves us.

This is the #MediaRevolution and it needs YOU.

99 problems. 99 placards. 99 days.

Counting down to one global uprising.

Media Liberation Day: 5th November.

Join the countdown. Be part of a new future.

Huge thank you to everyone who took part in the first placard video. From hand made placards outside mega farms in Catalunya, to printed placards in Switzerland, Uganda and USA – the dots of media disinformation are well and truly connected.

People all around the world have sent in videos highlighting the media mishandling of issues that effect them, and there are more still coming in. Why not be part of the countdown and record your own message, then send in your placard video.

At Media Revolution, we believe that perfect should never be the enemy of good. Every great movement of the past has started small, rooted in humble yet determined beginnings.

Our roots may be deep in the soil of climate and social justice movements in the UK, but the campaign vision, awareness and connections – not to mention the issues – extend far beyond UK shores. We see global issues and global responses as inextricably interconnected – and we see and understand the responsibility and need for countries with a long history of damage – to people and planet – as being accountable and responsible for learning from and taking action in an intersectional and international way.

The malignant media thrives by keeping us all divided, confined to bubbles of isolated thought and echo chambers of familiar ideologies. The challenge—and opportunity—is to break free from these silos. Though we may seem geographically distant or our issues different, by we must recognise ourselves as interconnected, vital parts of a greater whole, with more in common, and more shared struggles than not.

This may mean sometimes carefully holding uncomfortable conversations and forging unusual alliances because the urgency of the mission leaves no time to linger on traditional methods or ideological purity.

We’re inspired by movements that have blossomed from small seeds into powerful forces for change through collective care, mutual aid, and authentic connectedness. The start may be modest but the ambitions are enormous, and the methods are transparent and open, and we invite everyone to share the journey.

Iterating rapidly and evolving continually, we embrace honesty and accountability as core principles, mirroring the integrity we need from the media.

Our ambition is nothing short of catalysing a social tipping point—creating a wave of awareness and action that propels movement media to unprecedented heights. We step up alongside the pioneers already doing essential work, rather than re-inventing the wheel, but bringing renewed energy, practical support, innovative ideas, and extensive organising experience.

🗺️ We’re working with new international connections and leveraging the power of AI to actively map the global media landscape. Covering corporate, state, broadcast, print, and social media platforms this new tool is being designed to help people make informed choices about the platforms they use.

📲 Talking of platforms, Media Revolution is now on social media! We’re using mainstream platforms to help people transition towards decentralised media.

All links are here: https://mediarevolution.org/link-list/ (and yes, the irony isn’t lost on us about being on these platforms, so we highly recommend, joining us first on Mastodon!).
