Local-news collapse and creator-economy diffusion have produced the era of candidate-owned channels
Potential 2028 U.S. presidential candidates are operating less like party-bound politicians and more like one-person media companies. The shift rests on two structural changes pulling in the same direction: the rapid collapse of America's local-news ecosystem, which has cut off the external coverage candidates once relied on, and the spread of creator-economy infrastructure that now lets anyone build a community on a platform. With both forces converging, candidates have begun running content production lines under their own names.
