The community media generation system can also raise the awareness of the population about manipulation techniques employed on both traditional and social media platforms.
The goal should be to give people the basic toolkit of media combat: to understand how 'truth' is produced in the media via the dissemination of articles, videos, infotainment, surveys, and research reports.
Young people opting to serve a community of their choosing via media generation would complete their basic training and then try their hands for a few weeks at the practical side of news production and the sifting-through of information within that community.
Some people might do their community media service only by contributing their expert opinions on received media content, while others might only produce content or work in an administrative capacity.
Population-staffed media groups would constitute a standing media army of the people, by the people and for the people, useful both for domestic defence and foreign offense.
The population will come to identify personally with the media landscape, having seen up close how media is produced and how their own part of the community has tried to make sense of the world.
Media directly by the people should also reduce the degree to which politicians will coalesce into aristocratic elites, because a diverse and critical media sector will give a much wider talent pool fair consideration, as inexpensive means of pushing talented contenders out of the race simply cannot dominate the airwaves.
