It’s hardly news that independent media is collapsing and it’s increasingly difficult for readers and writers to get what they want from publications – while the golden age of feminist blogging appears to be over. That’s why a group of feminist writers and artists are launching The Flytrap Media on 5 November. (Yes, it’s US Election Day. On purpose. And we've begun to drop content prior to that date, to give readers a taste of what’s coming.)
I’m no stranger to media criticism given the topics I write about (gender, trans rights, religious fundamentalism to name a few) in hostile media contexts in the US and UK.
I’m confident many readers of indie media would agree that the corporate media in the era of Brexit and Trump have mishandled numerous issues, from climate change to transgender rights to election coverage, that matter to those who value human rights and democracy.
