Two weeks ago, we rattled the malignant media with an action-packed day.
To start the day off, the Media Revolution Penguins hand-delivered a notice to Google and YouTube that we had ‘lit the Touch Paper’ on a media consumer union – letting them know that we see their fishy algorithms, their promotion of disinformation and division, and are setting course to challenge their menticidal ways.
The Media Revolution Cover Story had the whole UK print media network on standby for disruption.
With dozens of activists taking part, we had the printed press on alert. “Everyone across the supply chain, publishers, wholesalers, and retailers, will be exercising extra vigilance to protect sales and minimise disruption.”
Every single malignant front page that was covered not only called out the malicious media – it provided a pathway of hope for media consumers towards a movement media, for people and planet. Mo-Me, the decentralised social network that delivers a ‘no-ads, no algorithms, no billionaire owners’ experience and an aggregated feed of independent news and campaigns, was buzzing with new joiners.
We also held a seminar at Exeter University and an online workshop, and the day was rounded off with an online Zoom party with a live DJ!
Since Media Liberation Day, the core working group have been catching their collective breath and have held a series of debriefs to capture opportunities for strengthening the campaign even further, and can now share a new feedback survey so you, too, can contribute.
It’s important to remind ourselves that Media Liberation Day was a beginning – not an end. Our vision was mighty, our aims must be nothing but transformational.
When we set out on the road of a Media Revolution – and a Media Liberation Day – we knew that a change in the media landscape was very much needed, and that there is too much talk, not enough action. There are many studies, reports, stats and diagrams telling us how bad it is; we must focus on action.
Simply put, the migration from malignant media (press and social) towards movement media now has a solid pathway.
Touch Paper – the new media consumer union – is underway. A membership launch is now planned for Spring ‘26, and people are registering their interest via the new website. Meanwhile, the already broad network of supporting organisations for Media Revolution continues to grow, and we are planning to build those relationships further and stronger over the coming months.
The start of the Media Revolution has only been possible thanks to you, the supporters, and an incredible team of volunteers – a core working group of just a handful of dedicated people – and the whole campaign so far has run on a few donations at a very low cost.
For 2026, the plan is to grow, baby, grow – we’re working on finding more volunteers, hosting more events, taking action, fundraising and reaching more and more people who want a Media Revolution, just like you.
Thank you for taking part – and … stay tuned for further updates!
