Hi Dave In celebration of July 4, it seems appropriate to consider whether the Internet will help a new form of participatory netizen media to emerge. This was the subject that many discussed at the recent forum held by OhmyNews in Seoul recently. My article reviewing the forum is in Telepolis. The url is: http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/20/20437/1.html Below is an excerpt. Ronda What will be the future? Netizen Media or Another Form of Corporate Dominated Mainstream Media? by Ronda HaubenThere is a small staff of reporters writing articles for the Korean edition of the newspaper, in addition to the submissions by citizen reporters. The newly founded international edition, however, which is published in English, is wholly dependent on submissions from citizen reporters. Citizen reporters from around the world were brought to Seoul for 3 days to meet each other and to meet their Korean counterparts.... The issue raised during the forum, not formally, but among the citizen journalists there, and afterwards in their comments and articles after the forum, is the issue of whether the new Internet media will end up being a new form of corporate dominated mainstream media or will it be able to be the media of netizens seeking a better world.
