Custom local media system

Built to help people make and share local media

Local media without the platform trap.

The proposal is a custom system made from portable content, clear human roles and specialised agents. The network keeps control of its tools, its records and every public decision.

Seven-step production loop

Every agent action ends at a human decision.

The system is not one magic bot. It is a set of narrow helpers, each working on a clear job and handing the result to a person.

01 · Capture

Turn a contribution into a clear record.

A person sends text, voice, images, video or a link. An intake agent extracts the basics and flags missing details.

Human gateThe contributor confirms what may enter the work queue.
02 · Triage

Route it without burying it.

A routing agent suggests the coverage area, urgency, possible format and who needs to see it.

Human gateA producer sets priority, assigns responsibility or stops the item.
03 · Verify

Separate evidence from assumption.

A verification agent gathers links, dates, conflicts, missing claims and previous versions into one check view.

Human gateA person decides what is confirmed, uncertain or unsuitable for release.
04 · Make

Prepare the right media, not every media.

Production agents can draft copy, transcripts, captions, cuts, layouts and channel versions.

Human gateCreators choose, reshape or reject the drafts.
05 · Review

Check the complete public package.

A review agent checks facts, links, accessibility, release status, credits, dates and consistency.

Human gateThe responsible reviewer signs off, returns it or places it on hold.
06 · Publish

Release once, adapt deliberately.

A distribution agent prepares the approved package for web, feeds, video, audio and public screens.

Human gateA publisher chooses the channels and presses release.
07 · Follow through

Stay responsible after release.

A monitoring agent watches sources, dates, broken links, feedback and possible corrections.

Human gateA person updates, corrects, closes or archives the item.

The custom core

Six parts we control ourselves.

Contribution gateway

One simple way in

A custom form and voice-friendly pathway for stories, corrections, events, media and public-source links.

Content ledger

Portable records, not trapped posts

Each item is stored as readable data, text and media with its sources, status, versions and decisions attached.

Agent workbench

Specialist helpers in one place

People can call the intake, verification, transcript, edit, caption, layout and distribution agents when useful.

Human gates

Named decisions and clear ownership

Every hand-off records who accepted, changed, returned, stopped or released the work.

Render engine

One approved package, many outputs

The custom renderer builds fast web pages, feeds, screen cards, transcripts, audio pages and channel-ready files.

Public trail

Updates and corrections stay visible

Every public item can show when it was checked, what changed and where the supporting material can be found.

The content package

A story is more than the words on a page.

The system keeps the useful production trail without exposing private working material on the public site.

Public package

Headline and summary What people need to know Format set Article, video, audio, screen or live update Status Current, updated, corrected, closed or archived Checked time When the public information was last reviewed Public sources Links and material people may inspect Correction route A clear way to report a problem

Private production record

Original contribution Kept separately from the public edit Working sources Notes, checks and unresolved questions Agent outputs Suggestions and drafts, never mistaken for decisions Human decisions Who accepted, changed, stopped or approved each step Release boundaries What the production team is allowed to use Version history What changed and why

Sustainable Employment and Training

Learn inside the production loop.

These are possible work areas, not advertised jobs. The point is to turn real media production into clear, supported pathways.

Listen + organiseContributor support

Help people bring in stories, events, corrections and media without needing technical knowledge.

Check + explainResearch and verification

Confirm dates, links and public information, then make it understandable.

Record + createVideo, audio and photography

Capture interviews, sound, scenes, events and useful local updates.

Shape + accessEditing, captions and transcripts

Turn raw media into clear, accessible public work.

Release + maintainPublishing and screens

Prepare approved packages, operate channels and keep information current.

Coordinate + reportProduction leadership

Hold the schedule, human gates, budgets, public reporting and correction process.

Who decides?

The system does not appoint itself.

If Ready SET Co-op forms, its members and elected leadership would set the publishing rules together, within the laws and Acts that apply.

This website and Luke do not attempt to decide those rules at all.
