Free newspapers affect the quality of all of the press by depriving the mainstream press of its resources and its readers. In addition, the information they provide is often of relatively low quality.
Despite this, it is clear they are read by an audience extremely broad and extremely diverse, representing virtually all segments of the population.
Their emergence has, in reaction, favored the emergence of citizen media, of course with blogs like this one, but also as a citizen news sites Agoravox or Wikinews . The problem is that the citizen information reaches an audience already largely politically engaged and, for blogs, largely acquired the ideas of the author. For example, I think few people completely disagree with my ideas read my blog ...
So what?
should find a way to combine the distribution of free newspapers and proximity to the everyday citizen media.
That is to say: to reclaim the space occupied by the newspapers.
I propose a solution: annotate the newspapers!
If you read a free newspaper, write next to each item on your opinion about it.
Thus, we can transform the distribution of free newspapers in a broad forum for the dissemination of ideas. The lack of exchange of ideas is, in my opinion one of the biggest obstacle to change. Your notice is important, let know! This is the very meaning of democracy.
Moreover, it is very easy: all you need is a pencil with you, newspapers are provided free of charge everywhere!
Maybe someday, the publishers of newspapers leave spaces specially designed for this purpose?
