This Week in Internet & Society
Geoff McGovern
This week in Internet and Society we turn out attention to Citizen
Media. The teaser:
"The profusion of low-cost media production and distribution has led
to the rise of an alternative citizen-led media sector. Is this a
passing fad of enthusiastic amateurs or the beginning of a fundamental
restructuring of the way media and news are produced and consumed?
Will the current trends lead to more information, better information,
and better informed people or an increasingly polarized society that
picks its sources of information to match its biases and ignorance?"
The week's wiki page is here:

Office Hours will be held Thursday from 9:00-10:00 EST.
I hope to see you there.
