“ Baghdad blogger” Salam Pax

“ I try to dispel the image that Muslims and Arabs suffer from - mostly by our own doing I have to say - in the rest of the world. I am no missionary and don’t want to be. I run several internet websites that are geared to do just that, create a better understanding that we’re not all nuts hell-bent on world destruction.”

ZOLA & THE NAILHOUSE
Internet-> traditional media, then mutual reinforcement
When media coverage was shut down, there was so much on the internet the ban was ineffectual

The New Media Ecosystem Source: Morgan Stanley October 2004 report: “Update from the Digital World” by Mary Meeker et. al.

Credibility 2.0 Then... Now... Audience size (market success) Professional credentials Peer respect (community reputation) Transparency & honesty

Info Supply & Demand 2.0 Then... High cost of production Scarcity of space, airtime, etc. Now... Low cost of production Scarcity of attention

Obstacles to a truly Global Conversation:
ATTENTION: The caring problem. What people need to know vs. what they enjoy knowing and talking about.
LANGUAGE : The internet is becoming more multi-lingual… translation requires effort.
ACCESS: The people whose voices we most need to hear are the ones who are least able to speak out online. (Internet 40x more expensive for Africans than Americans!)
CENSORSHIP: Roughly 40 national governments now censor their Internet. (For more info see OpenNet.net)
