Is your media ethically produced?

Kicking off the 'Thailand Questions'

We all know that the ever increasing fragmentation of media presents wonderful new opportunities for people who are passionate about social and environmental change to create content and publicise campaigns. The possession of a mere phone and an internet link to youtube is usually enough to post up an inspiring film about the environment or some community project. Same can be done with photos on sites like flickr. Most good websites campaigning for great causes carry news and stories about how to make the world a better place. i-genius news is a fine example of just such a great site. [Note: editor insisted on adding this line].

But are we taking into account our responsibilities in producing and distributing media to the highest ethical standards?

That is the question that will be posed at the i-genius World Summit in Thailand. With heavy weights like former CNN international president Chris Cramer and Dave McQueen from Channel 4 around, expect a few fireworks!

I think there's a bigger question than ethics. Does your media cover 360 degrees of the world? Every sustainability crisis begins and ends by not raising local grassroots questions truly and ahead of time. In 1984 my father and I wrote up the 2 endings of the globalsiation generation to 2024 and its battle through media crises http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html 2008 chapter 6 suggested we'd need a Nobel prize winner to inspire the world to search out 30000 replicable community up projects. We had assumed the easy part of that would be the BBC's world service championing such Q&A in a reality tv program that India's DD and then the rest of the world played and interconnected to spaces like i-genius. Instead we have YUnUS but no BBC
