The rise of the media, an alternative to competitive journalism
  • Today we want to value the international media network of which we are a part and which in Euskal Herria more and more media are working through free licences. In these difficult times, we want to take the media network we belong to more than ever before and we invite you to read, follow and support these media. For more journalistic initiatives that support each other!
ARGIA @argia 2020ko apirilaren 20a

At this point you will have noticed that ARGIA, naturally, echoes the journalistic works of other media. To do this, it has different channels: on the one hand, La Directa in the Catalan countries, Pikara Magazine in the Spanish State, La Marea and El Salto, Arainfo in Aragon, Redfish in Germany and Roar Magazine in the United States. On the other hand, the media of popular initiative demand and implement the free license that we have imposed, recognizing its authorship, echoing this information in the ARGIA media. Thirdly, on the ARGIA website we have the section Plaza de los Agentes, and thanks to this window, we automatically show on the main page of the ARGIA website the information published by the media and agents registered...

Today we want to value the international media network of which we are a part and which in Euskal Herria more and more media are working through free licences.

The fact that each media helps the other to disseminate its contents reinforces another vision of journalism: information is a common good and not an empty commodity.

In the international network with which we maintain an agreed collaborative relationship, we share the basic philosophy: we understand journalism as a tool to give voice to transformative proposals and to control economic and political forces. Of course, everyone has their personality, and we respect and celebrate those differences, because all the particularities of each of us enrich us.

Among the media of which we are part, we share the content that may be of interest to our readers, and through this formula we reach certain territories and themes, otherwise we could hardly get each of us with our own resources. To the extent that the daily work of each medium makes it possible, we also share sources of news, ideas and information, and we have collaborated in different works that we have published jointly.

This business model that prioritizes competition is that of coming before others and comparing who has the most visits and clicks on the web... but in the face of this competition model, the fact that each media helps the other to disseminate their contents is another point of view about journalism: information is a common good and not a commodity, and the stories of general interest that we tell are better to reach more people, because those stories are not their own property.

In difficult times like today, we want to take the media network we belong to more than ever before and we invite you to read, follow and protect these media. For more journalistic initiatives that support each other!
