Principle 3 proposes independent journalism in local languages, modelled on the BBC. I work in media policy and I find this the most promising — and the most underspecified — part of the proposal.
The BBC works because of three things: public funding (licence fee), statutory independence (Royal Charter), and brand trust built over decades. Replicating that globally means answering:
1. Who funds it? A Global Union levy? Voluntary contributions from member states? Both are vulnerable to political capture. 2. Who protects it legally? A charter is only as strong as the body that enforces it. 3. How does it operate in countries where the state controls internet infrastructure?
I'm genuinely enthusiastic about this idea, but it needs a full governance model before it can be taken seriously.
