Wiki pedia entry


Henry Jenkins paper talks about participatory culture;
  1. With relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement
  2. With strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations with others
  3. With some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices
  4. Where members believe that their contributions matter
  5. Where members feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least they care what other people think about what they have created)

  • the decrease cost of technology has allowed for more creating of media, like movies, that once cost so much money can be filmed much cheaper**maker fair , creating things from scratch, 
  • smartphone, media is no longer bound by time and space. 
  • you can also hide behind screen names and avatars and be whoever you want, 
  • henry jenkins says the increase in production means more competition, means more of what people actually want
  • Howar Rheingold sees particapatory culture create deep social change, bc the powers that contorl mass communication cannot control this new media.
