iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

One month of posts cannot settle the future of media. It can begin a better conversation: grounded in evidence, open to disagreement and focused on public value. Keep it going in the Better Media Forum. #BetterMedia forum.bettermedia.uk

Bring a case, not just a slogan. Tell the Better Media Forum what happened, who was affected, what evidence exists and what practical change might help. Specific experience makes better policy. #BetterMedia forum.bettermedia.uk

Useful reform is not always a grand programme. A fairer rule, a shared resource, better data or a small funding change can remove a real barrier. Share a practical intervention with Better Media. #BetterMedia forum.bettermedia.uk

Media reform should be testable. Set a clear objective, try a proportionate intervention, publish the evidence and revise what does not work. Help Better Media turn principles into practical proposals. #BetterMedia forum.bettermedia.uk

Practical policy begins by defining the problem clearly. Who is affected? What evidence is available? What would improve? Bring a media-policy problem to the Better Media Forum. #BetterMedia #FoundationalMedia forum.bettermedia.uk

UK media policy should put citizens before institutions. Better Media’s #WatchThisSpace response calls for diverse local and independent supply, less protectionism, editorial independence, open innovation and a right to opt out of prominence systems. bettermedia.uk/2026/08/27/f...

The BBC is cutting £500 million and one in ten jobs, with staff on Newsnight expecting their programme to go. A TV licence costs £180 a year and carries no vote in how the BBC is run. The Charter Review should make licence fee payers members, with a real stake and a say.

Who should check whether news-prominence rules support genuine plurality? Should assessments, decisions, evidence and dissent be published—and should providers and audiences have a right of appeal? #WhoGetsHeard #BetterMedia forum.bettermedia.uk

How should minority, local and dissenting voices be protected in a system promoting “trustworthy” news? What would prevent legitimate perspectives being excluded by institutional or political consensus? #WhoGetsHeard #BetterMedia forum.bettermedia.uk
