Subject: Canadian Media Options
Dear Canadian Media lovers,
The future of Canadian media is a topic of debate, with some politicians advocating for government-regulated and funded media while others question the bias that such media sources might have. In this context, a distributist approach that encourages decentralization and fosters a multitude of diverse voices is suggested. This approach aims to decentralize the production and distribution of media content, allowing for a greater diversity of voices, perspectives, and community involvement.
The CBC has two functions, one is infrastructural, and the other is content creation. The infrastructure is valuable and may be difficult for some remote communities to provide for themselves. Each local community has their own content creators, artists, writers, musicians, and journalists who could enable local community radio stations and public access television using the infrastructure. A municipal co-operative media organization consisting of local residents within the broadcast range of the tower would be most democratic.
If taking into account the preceding email's mentions of a sustainable municipality of roughly 55,440 individuals living at or below carrying capacity (1-5ha per capita), the broadcast radius would only need to be 15-30km depending on the number of hectares (1-5) per individual, which can be achieved with a 10-50W Low Power FM (LPFM) radio tower in a rural setting. Obviously there is nothing stopping this happening now, but the CBC/CRTC/IC could be asked to help provide infrastructure, expedited approval and-or other support for such local media initiatives.
Existing CBC towers tend to have substantially more range than that, and a co-operative of listeners may decide to use them. A county consisting of 13 municipalities would have a broadcast radius of 50-110km appropriate for a 1kWh radio, or a region of 6 counties would have a broadcast radius of 120-300km big enough for a 10kWh radio tower.
Though for diversity of content and ease of maintenance certainly the smaller municipal towers are preferable, whereas the larger ones may be better for regional news and best of the region content. A church consisting of roughly 60 people, could have a 0.01-1W FM radio station (0.5-3km^2). Allow people to play royalty free content, such as creative commons licensed ones made by locals. A municipal co-operative radio stations comprised of residents could play municipal artists, have their own polls on the fediverse instance as to content, and interact with municipal citizens.
If Canada would like to facilitate local social media alternatives to "Big Tech Giants" such as Twitter, Youtube and Facebook, there are open source alternatives such as the Fediverse which have many implementations with a variety of multimedia, federation and moderation capabilities.
It would be quite viable for each municipal co-operative media organization to host a Fediverse instance for municipal residents and federate with other municipalities of their county or the rest of the Fediverse as the local community sees fit.
In conclusion, the future of Canadian media can be embracing a distributive approach that encourages decentralization and fosters a multitude of diverse voices. By leveraging existing infrastructure and adopting cooperative media organizations, we can ensure that the interests of various communities are represented in a more democratic manner. Moreover, the utilization of open-source social media alternatives to the existing Big Tech giants can empower local communities and create a more inclusive digital space. In this way, Canadian media can achieve a balance between independence and government regulation while fostering a rich and varied media landscape that truly reflects the nation's diversity and values.
When asked about broadcast media the Confederation of Planets encourages the use of traditional media, such as television, radio, and the internet, for sharing light and awareness without imposing any restrictions. They emphasize the importance of finding balance by dedicating time to becoming present, releasing tension and worry, and experiencing joy in the present moment. They also advise finding the light touch, laughter, and bliss in these experiences while collaborating and having fun. (L/L https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2006/0109 )
Imagine the rich diversity that a sustainable diverse distributist Canada can bring us.
May you be blessed
