Media personality Laura Flanders sits down with ILSR co-director and Community-Scaled Economy initiative director Stacy Mitchell to discuss the consolidation in media companies and its impact on our democracy. Topics discussed include: the scale of the big problem with gatekeepers like Facebook and Google [2:27]; media companies like Sinclair as an "extractive machine" [7:55]; paying better attention and supporting small, independent media organizations [15:20]; how we used to shame our government and companies into better action [21:06]; and how we can direct our attention to higher quality sources and assert our power over tech/media monopolies [29:30].
