Absolutely 💯 what organisations should be doing in every sector. 

🔎 The need for media funding transparency is more crucial than ever. As trust in news outlets declines, organizations must be transparent about their funding sources. 🗞️ Media organizations should be open about any financial support or sponsorship that might have an influence on their content, to minimize the risk of biased reporting. 💰This includes explicitly identifying advertisers, sponsors or funders. This not only builds credibility but also ensures unbiased reporting. With Perspectify.com you can find out all the important information from more than 11,000 news publications. #mediafunding #credibility #transparency

Last January, I gave a talk about the future of democracy. As 2023, draws to a close, I'm posting that talk here, which I hope contains some useful ideas for the year ahead. Democracy’s Second Act Maclean’s Idea Summit Peter MacLeod | Jan 30, 2023 I want to talk about politics tonight and why it feels as though democracy is in a rut. Some have suggested there are three words that sum up our condition — each starting with the letter ‘P’ — polarization, pessimism and populism. And they keep pushing in, making politics for a lot of people less hopeful and more frustrating. I guess we can say that in politics, at least, quiet quitting isn’t new. It’s been underway across the electorate for decades. So I think we can be forgiven if, when we look around we ask ourselves, is this all there is? Is this as good as it gets? Being led by leaders no one wants to listen to, and parties very few of us want to join. Arrogant governments on the left and the right that behave as though they won every vote when none of them can convince more than a quarter of us to mark an X. Public debate that’s evasive and condescending. A culture of mistrust that makes us guarded and cynical and ultimately resigned. And maybe worst of all, the belief that we’re not really equal to the challenges we face, and that the best we can do is the best we can do, given the circumstances. Well, for the past 15 years I’ve been running something of a quiet experiment about the future of democracy that tries to set itself against this story. In that time, I’ve invited tens of thousands of Canadians to take a seat at the table and share responsibility for what happens when a hospital can no longer provide all the services a community needs, or when a transit agency needs to figure out where to put new services and how we should pay for them. Running dozens of what are often called Citizens’ Assemblies, where randomly selected residents do the work of legislators, I’ve watched Canadians away from the spotlight make plans to amalgamate municipalities, protect their privacy, end homelessness, strengthen healthcare, and regulate social media. Count it all up and I guess I’ve watched some 60,000 hours of volunteer time poured into this work of true self-government and you know, when Canadians from every corner of the country and every walk of life sit together, they don’t sound like Question Period. They don’t waste time with the trivial stuff — they get to business, they hear each other out and they come up with smart solutions. It turns out we’re not 49 to 51 on most things. In fact most of the time, given the opportunity and good information, people work through the trade-offs and find their way to common ground. So here’s what I think:  I think we face two simultaneous challenges. Read the full text: https://lnkd.in/gvTTWYB5
