Independent media

Independent media means that there are groups of people who create and share information, like news articles or videos, that are not controlled by bigger companies or governments. It's like when you and your friends make a pretend newspaper or TV show. You get to decide what to write or talk about, and nobody is telling you what to say.

Independent media is important because it lets people share different perspectives and ideas. Sometimes bigger companies or governments only share their own viewpoints, but independent media can show a wider range of opinions. It can also help people learn about important events happening in their communities or around the world.

Independent media can be websites, social media accounts, podcasts, or other types of media created by individuals, small groups, or non-profit organizations. By supporting independent media, you can help make sure that there are diverse and independent voices out there sharing information and ideas.
