The Problem
Serious news and full-spectrum debate – on which democracy depends –
are disappearing from television. Across the globe, news media are
concentrated in the hands of a few entertainment conglomerates whose
interests determine news coverage. They promote superficial
"infotainment" over tough investigation, context and holding authority
accountable. Public broadcasters face shrinking budgets and growing
political and commercial pressures.The Solution
We need a news and current affairs network that defends the public
interest and the highest standards of journalism. Independent World
Television will be such a network, a non-profit broadcast service
financed by viewers across the globe — independent of corporate or
government funding and commercial advertising.
I’m in. Are you?
