Telling the stories that matter, in a way that makes an impact.
Mission Statement:
Lux Vita Media Group is a multimedia news organization producing investigative and analytical content educating the public about national and international affairs. Our goal is to inform the American people of the dangers and opportunities facing the nation, recording our deeds, and encouraging reflection and intellectual discussion, and robust debate. Our mission is to build systems and communities of like-minded individuals, who stand by our core values of truth, hope, and unity.
We believe dissent should not be silenced, but encouraged. Controversy should not be avoided, but embraced. In this way, we find ourselves walking in the large footsteps left behind by the journalists who paved the way for us, and we honor those who have given their lives to the pursuit of truth. Yet we also recognize the dangers and peril the nation faces today and know our current news media to be insufficiently capable at handling the tasks and challenges before us.
Therefore, we aim not only to increase the quality of the news being relayed, but the quality of transmission. Offering a uniquely cinematic value to our video content, we know that the medium is just as important as the message, and embrace both long and short form content, utilizing each platform to play into each of their unique strengths and weaknesses. Lux Vita Media Group aims to influence the online sector by offering an alternative to both traditional news media and the often radicalized alternative media sources. We will always return to our core values, beginning with truth- but never leaving behind our desires for hope and unity.
“So it is to the printing press, to the recorder of man’s deeds, the keeper of his conscious, the courier of his news, that we look for strength and assistance confident that with your help man will be what was born to be- free and independent.” -President John F. Kennedy
