Media’s “fall” in the United States, in terms of business declines and trust, is more severe than in many other countries. But the implications are global. If media of some form or another is indeed a force for change, and for making the world a better place, the moral leadership gap among today’s media institutions, and others, suggests opportunities for new leadership to fill the gap. That leadership could come from anywhere, and that’s an insight relevant to every sector of our culture. [...] [...] Our research certainly bears this out, and so does common experience.

As a first step, tell us a little more about: - your work - what kinds of challenges do you run into or think about? - what kinds of people would you like to meet and connect with - if you did have a group to work with, what would you want to talk about - or DO - with them? Feel free to discuss here via comments, or send to me offline via email. You could participate from Nigeria, with other members from the US or elsewhere.

I am a freelance media person though, and wish to know how this could play in starting a working group.
