Byline Times
Green leader Zack Polanski has backed a campaign for a fundamental overhaul of Britain’s media ownership, in order to prevent billionaires buying newspapers in order to “literally buy democracy”.
Polanski threw his weight behind the ‘Media Sovereignty Act’ campaign in a speech at Green Gathering festival in Chepstow (Wales) earlier this month.
He criticised the “billionaire media” repeatedly, adding that Britain needed “a free press for a free country”.
He added: “We need to push independent media like Byline Times, Novara Media, [and] Turn Left.”
“Progress in addressing these crises depends absolutely on restoring media sovereignty.”
