So will the pamphleteer, and the samizdat writers come back into their own, and small newspapers come back into it.
Newspapers are causing this as they try to control the message and the fake news.
Re-model the concept to street reporters and blogs.... everywhere. Blogs who WANT to be linked but blogs who carry accuracy in their reportage. That’s the way to fight this.
I have a website and do my own stuff locally. I am currently working on the Qatar Foundation infiltrating my local school district. Get my own documents,stage protests, take pics and share online. Mostly to archive and share among other activists. I am sure there are plenty out there covering their own backyard.
