Interesting story on fan / #cooperative ownership in French #football (from @philippeauclair.bsky.social)

When all else is lost, turn to the only people who can be trusted to put their clubs first, sell them a share of what they already own, emotionally speaking, then ignore them again. The new socios do not feel that way. They talk about the reality of reconnecting with institutions that had drifted away from them, but also reconnecting with those whom they would otherwise live alongside, but not with, in a fractured society. Mathilde, a 45-year-old Sociochaux told Libération: "It is about building something with people who slip a different voting paper in the ballot box. Those spaces are rare."

Over at the other place, I had accumulated some pretty useful lists, including the media featured in these and following screenshots - I’ll try to recreate as a Starter Pack of #mediacoops in due course:
