We need more independent, regional and local media.

Although, I´m not advocating getting rid of television, but when everyone around the world is watching the same shows, then the local culture and creativity become lost and cultures become homogenized. I see that as a bad thing. There is another part to this, as newer generations may want to distance themselves from the previous generation and distance themselves from the culture. Ultimately, I think a generation or two removed have more fascination with the local cultures of the past and will embrace it.
