Reading notes:
Echo Chamber Project Ideally, collaborative media will bring a
greater diversity of voices and perspectives into mainstream media.
Essembly, a young
startup that focuses on ideological matching as a way of bringing
diversity to issues. The cool aspect to this: build a campaign with
both red and blue constituents, if they happen to agree about your
issue.
The Homeless Nation videos show an evolution from documenting a
community, to a community learning to document itself.
Josh Wolfe Last July, Wolfe shot a protest at which a local
police officer was injured.
"Video blogging is
empowering two core early adopters: indie film and video producers
seeking distribution, and nonprofits seeking affordable and effective
outreach. This is a good start, but social change will require a
larger, more diverse audience to become engaged."
