Public service media institutions need to embrace the open social web if they want to reach a digitally native audience — leaning further into U.S.-centric Big Tech platforms is not the answer. Excited to share updates on my work with @newpublic.org’s Public Space Incubator!

After a few months of getting our flippers wet, we realized something: Gander is a bit of an odd duck in tech, especially in how it gets built and supported. Traditional venture capital funding doesn't fit a benefit company like ours. Likewise with a lot of government programs.
