Title
Peak Oil & Gas - Global Public Media
Description
Global Public Media has been formed to help existing public service information organizations, which include broadcasting, print and online media, give a broader, deeper and more interactive public information service. During Phase One we are developing and presenting in-depth interviews, & pilot radio and television sites and programmes in response to a wide range of topics and issues in the world.
GIobalPublicMedia is part of a response to the difficulties that both public and profit-making news and other media have when trying to offer analysis and understanding which is not driven by the need to 'entertain', increase ratings, save money, make profit and satisfy shareholders.
In most English language media, especially broadcasting media, which are the chief sources of information about world politics and events, the above constraints generally mean avoiding complex issues or offering a very black and white, 'goodies versus baddies', view of the world. We believe that the world is clearly more complex than that, and that there are many awkward paradoxes and many contradictory beliefs about how life should be lived and resources shared.
