since i went feral (freelance / indie), been preoccupied with models of cooperative work & mutual aid among fellow wildlings
& been dissatisfied with most i've come across (also inspired by many)
starting to sketch out rough ideas for 𝓴𝓝𝓸𝓽𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓴
ALT crude diagram / system map depicting a theory for kNotwork (peer 2 peer work collaboration & mutual support) as a leverage point & mitigation strategy against (parts of) the polycrisis

It's been a trip, y'all—but I couldn’t be more proud of the “#LocalNewsRoadmap: An Emergent Approach to Meeting Civic Information Needs.”
Many thoughts and a 🧵 on the opportunity ahead + one ask:
1) Read/share the report: localnewsroadmap.org
2) Keep reading ⏬ Let's talk

in this framework, i see myself & @co3meta as both 'practitioners', 'champions' & network/community-builders, working on strategies # 1 & 3
Coεmeta retweeted
more than a breath of fresh air here
farsighted but deeply rooted vision for (re)generative prosocial information commons
beyond 'local news', legacy institutional forms & other relics of reductionism

Regardless of where you’re coming from, I want to challenge us to reimagine what’s possible—and tell a new story. One that begins w/ local news collapse but comes w/ a unique opportunity to bring something emergent and hugely impactful into being. You have a role to play:
ALT The "Two Loops" framework describes a model of organizational and systems change—by Meg Wheatley and Deborah Frieze from their paper, “Using Emergence to Take Social Innovation to Scale.”
Coεmeta retweeted
The #LocalNewsRoadmap lays out 4 recs to scale this field:
1⃣ Coordinate around expanding civic info, not saving the news business
2⃣ Directly invest in the production of civic info
3⃣ Invest in shared services & peer-led networks
4⃣ Pass public policies to expand civic info
Coεmeta retweeted
We won’t emerge from this by “saving” the old system. We need to accelerate the transition to a new system centered on community info needs & news products that help people act & solve local issues
A participatory public good that's worth investing in. Yes, I made a chart 🤖
