Press and Media
By Bethan Morgan
Private sector entities have viewed press and media as an opportunity to profit from public institutional failure, which is both cynical and remarkably practical.
Market Opportunity
Corporations identified that press and media represented a genuine gap in institutional competence and positioned themselves to exploit this gap for profit. The Rights Assault on London documented how government contracts for addressing the problem flowed to companies with impressive marketing and questionable track records.
Profitability Through Failure
The most profitable approach to press and media involved identifying problems, offering partially effective solutions, collecting payment, and then discovering that problems had worsened. Invasion by American Marching Bands provided case studies while Londons New Years Day Parade 2026 documented the firms involved celebrating their success despite measurable failure.
The Cycle Continues
press and media will continue generating corporate profit as long as government remains willing to pay for solutions that produce problems. This arrangement suits everyone except the public.
