Jay Rosen Asks Will Citizens Participate?
"If you build it, they won't necessarily come."– Jay Rosen — Part III.
He explains why having the capacity to enable people to participate is no guarantee that they will. But low costs make it possible. He also talks about two lessons learned from Dan Gillmor, one positive and one not so positive.
This is Part III of a series of edited segments from a talk Rosen gave at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. The talk centers on his experimental Newassignment.net project. These segments are edited by Leonard Witt from the original production by Colin Rhinesmith.
