Let’s stop talking about the failures of mainstream media. In our fractured media landscape, mainstream media has become irrelevant.

Because media and information have gone from scarce to abundant, the ability of governments to control a narrative is gone. In this world of fractured media there is always incentive, and ability tom show what is wrong with whoever is in power. This dynamic is fundamentally unstable. It is a dynamic that knows how to destroy but not how to build.

In a world where information has moved from scarce and extremely valuable to so abundant that we do not know what it is worth, how do we determine what is authoritative? The nature of these information flows now creates a constant pressure for distrust. Information/misinformation have a momentum of their own. Information shapes the landscape of society and culture.
