It seems to me that building democratic media structures should proceed in certain stages. The first stage is a planning one. And in order to plan properly, we need to know what we're up against in terms of reasons that people do not read, as well as find answers to what people do want to see in their media. In other words, what features of mainstream media are politically alienating, if there are any? And what sort of features would be empowering, if they were included in media institutions? What steps can we take to alter the face of media such that people feel better informed, but also feel politically effective? In short, how can we transform media to help radicalize people and promote participation? Or are the prospects limited?
