The document discusses the concept of commons resources and their stewardship for social renewal. It outlines that commons resources include the biosphere, physiosphere, noosphere, and cultural commons. These resources are either inherited from nature or constitute common stock, and are stewarded in a commons or provided as public goods. Key features of commons include moving from an individual mindset to a collective one, networked civil society, social charters, co-production, co-governance models, and partnership with government. Examples of commons discussed include community bills of rights, food and forest commons, transition towns, and open source/creative commons models.

The document discusses three blog posts about events involving the production company Meridian Hill Pictures. The first blog post announces that Robert Putnam will discuss his book "Our Kids" at the Aspen Institute, examining growing inequality in America and implications for social mobility. The second post describes Meridian Hill Pictures' participation in a Hackathon event at the Silverdocs Festival, where they will develop a web prototype of one of their films. The third post announces that Meridian Hill Pictures' short film "Anacostia Paddle" will be featured in the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum exhibition "Reclaiming the Edge" about urban waterways.

Online age news
The document discusses how news consumption has changed in the online age. It notes that newspapers are becoming less viable as news is now instantly accessible online. Younger generations now get their news primarily online, allowing them to choose stories they are interested in. This has led to the rise of citizen journalism, where individuals can report and spread news quickly through social media. Examples like coverage of 9/11 and the Asian tsunami showed how amateur videos and posts provided valuable context. The document examines theories around participatory culture and how people collaborate online to discuss the news.
Social media & citizen journalism draft ppt
This document discusses the rise of citizen journalism through social media and its impact on reporting human rights issues. It explores case studies of citizen journalism covering the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, human rights abuses in Northeast India, and the Palestinian conflict. Citizen journalism provides eyewitness perspectives that empower ordinary people to disseminate news and raise awareness of issues in a way that challenges traditional journalism models.

The document discusses the shift from one-to-many mass media communications to many-to-many social media interactions. It notes that as the number of media channels increased in the 2000s, mass media became less effective at reaching consumers. Social media supports sharing information through social interactions online and allows people to become content producers rather than just consumers. However, social media also brings challenges around how power and responsibility are managed in online communities.
News in an Online Age
This document discusses how news consumption has changed from traditional print media to online and social media sources. It provides several theories on how news is now participatory and discusses the rise of citizen journalism. Examples are given of how individuals used social media to document and share information about events like 9/11 and the 2004 tsunami in ways that expanded the narrative beyond traditional media. The document concludes by proposing a case study of the 2011 London riots, where both social and traditional media played a role in coverage.
Social media past, present and future
This document provides a history of social media from its earliest forms like postal services in 550 BC to modern platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. It traces the evolution of communication technologies from telegraphs to email to early online services and bulletin boards. Key developments discussed include the creation of Usenet in 1979, the World Wide Web in 1991, the first blog in 1994, the rise of social networks starting in 1997 with platforms like Friendster and MySpace, and the launch of influential sites like YouTube, Twitter, and Tumblr in the 2000s. The document also briefly speculates on potential future directions of social media such as its growth in China and Russia or uses of augmented reality and tools for open government.

How the Net aids dictatorships
Evgeny Morozov presented a document that discusses how the internet and digital technologies are impacting society and politics in different ways around the world. Some key points made include that the internet has been both praised as enabling the spread of freedom and democracy, but also criticized as enabling more control and censorship by authoritarian governments. New digital tools are allowing new forms of both political activism and control over information. The impact of these technologies depends on how they are used and the context of different countries.

Does Information Really Want to be Free?
Indigenous Knowledge Systems and the Question of Openness
KIMBERLY CHRISTEN1
Washington State University
The “information wants to be free” meme was born some 20 years ago from the free
and open source software development community. In the ensuing decades, information
freedom has merged with debates over open access, digital rights management, and
intellectual property rights. More recently, as digital heritage has become a common
resource, scholars, activists, technologists, and local source communities have
generated critiques about the extent of information freedom. This article injects both the
histories of collecting and the politics of information circulation in relation to indigenous
knowledge into this debate by looking closely at the history of the meme and its cultural
and legal underpinnings. This approach allows us to unpack the meme’s normalized
assumptions and gauge whether it is applicable across a broad range of materials and
cultural variances.

I’d like to thank the two anonymous reviewers for their comments and suggestions that have
strengthened this article. This article has been a work in progress for several years as the Mukurtu
platform grew and took shape. During that time, I was lucky enough to be in conversation with
wonderfully thought-provoking colleagues who pushed me to think about the politics of openness and
access, including Jason Jackson, Chris Kelty, Tara McPherson, Craig Dietrich, Paul Dourish, Ramesh
Srinivasan, Robin Boast, Gabriella Coleman, Rosemary Coombe, Matt Cohen, Jane Anderson, Kate
Hennessy, and Robert Leopold. No amount of thanks is enough for Mukurtu’s Director of Development,
Michael Ashley, who took Mukurtu CMS from its alpha version to a 1.0 release in record time, all the while
reminding me not to let perfect be the enemy of good enough. My biggest debt of gratitude goes to the
indigenous peoples who have worked with Mukurtu CMS to help create a platform that reflects their
diverse needs.

Citizen journalism
Citizen journalism has grown with the rise of digital technologies and social media. It allows ordinary people to create and share news and eyewitness accounts. This challenges the traditional role of professional journalists but can also help provide new perspectives and localized information. While citizen journalism increases access to timely reporting of events, professional journalists argue it is still important for them to verify facts and provide context around news stories.
HOW THE WORLD WAS BROUGHT DOWN TO ITS KNEES
This document summarizes a report titled "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" that outlines a covert plan to control societies through social engineering and manipulation of economies. It describes how developments after World War II, including computers and new technologies, enabled powerful groups to develop "silent weapons" to secretly wage war on populations without their awareness or consent. The goal was to shift control of social and natural resources from the public to an elite few by engineering social systems and amplifying economic forces. The report marks the 25th anniversary of the start of this "Quiet War" using biological and economic warfare to exert dominance without detection.
Proudfield - Leading the Viral Revolution
The document discusses several political and social revolutions throughout history from the 14th century Han Revolution to the modern Digital Social Revolution of the 1990s. Some of the revolutions summarized include the English Revolution of 1642-1653 which established a republic after executing King Charles I, the French Revolution of 1789 which overthrew the French monarchy and aristocracy, the February Revolution of 1917 which overthrew Tsar Nicholas II in Russia, the Chinese Revolution of 1949 which established communist rule under Mao, and the Cuban Revolution of 1959 which transformed Cuba into a socialist republic under Fidel Castro. The document also discusses the origins and impacts of the May 1968 student protests in France, the Tiananmen Square protests in China
Web 2.0 intro
This document provides an overview of Web 2.0 technologies and their applications in education. It discusses the rise of microcontent, collaborative writing platforms like wikis and blogs, social media sites, tagging projects, rich media like podcasting, and how Web 2.0 enables new forms of storytelling. It also touches on concerns about policies regarding these technologies and their impact on education.

Online age (news)
The document discusses how news consumption has changed in the online age. It notes that younger generations now get their news primarily online, allowing instant access to multimedia content. This has implications for theories of participatory culture and citizen journalism. Social networks allow people to quickly share and discuss news. Examples like 9/11 and the Asian tsunami showed how citizen videos provided valuable context. The document advocates that citizen journalism gives voice to marginalized groups and improves transparency. However, some argue it can exploit unpaid labor. The document proposes studying social media use during the London riots as a case of both citizen and institutional journalism online.
A review of some recent cyber theory
This document provides an overview of recent cyber theory. It discusses key concepts like the simulacrum, cyberspace, virtual communities, and the work of theorists like Baudrillard, Virilio, and Haraway. The document examines whether cyber theory is rewriting postmodern principles or representing a new phase of cultural existence, covering topics like the real vs. simulated, information elites, and the blurring of human/machine boundaries represented by the cyborg.
DC Tech and Humanities talk
The document discusses the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies and their potential applications in education. Some key aspects covered include the rise of social media platforms that allow for collaborative writing, tagging and sharing of content; the growth of rich media like podcasting; and the potential for transmedia storytelling using multiple online platforms. Concerns about privacy and overuse of such technologies in education are also addressed.
Slide deck
This document discusses the impact of social media on social justice movements. It argues that social media has helped ignite rises in social justice by globalizing awareness and giving people power to influence politicians. Social media allows information to spread widely and quickly, meaning minor scandals can seriously impact leaders and forcing them to conform to shifting public attitudes. Once isolated injustices now receive worldwide attention through social media, applying greater pressure to solve problems. The combination of widespread social media mentions and poor corporate responses have cost companies billions in damages. By holding leaders accountable and spreading information, social media is changing societies and helping push for greater human rights and equality.
The New Journalist in the Age of Social Media
In the age of social media, what should be the role of the New Journalist -- not one who works for a traditional news organization but a social entrepreneur launching a media project for a nonprofit?
The New Journalist at a nonprofit or startup will be a storyteller and multimedia producer but will also have to take on additional roles:
• entrepreneur
• conversation facilitator
• social marketer
• futurist
• metrics & research nerd
Here's my presentation for the New Media Lab on Nov. 23, 2009, in San Francisco, bringing together new media innovators to kick off a year-long project covering nonprofits, journalism and social media.
The focus is on how to leverage social media for Doing Good 2.0
Ch12.global culture
This lecture covers the history of global digital culture and technology from the 1980s to the present. Key topics discussed include the social construction of technology; free and open source software movements; peer-to-peer file sharing and related legal issues; social media platforms like Wikipedia, Twitter, YouTube; and perspectives on the future of the internet and challenges around regulation and business models. Important individuals highlighted include Richard Stallman, Shawn Fanning, Lawrence Lessig, Jimmy Wales, and Julian Assange.
News: What's it to you?
This slideshow's aim is to open up the discussion of mainstream media and citizen journalism, and aims to demonstrate what the mainstream media is doing to catch up with their consumers.
Nathan Quinn Flipbook
1) News distribution has evolved rapidly with the rise of the internet and social media, allowing people to receive news faster and more conveniently than ever before through various online platforms.
2) While print newspapers were once the dominant form of news, digital formats have overtaken them with only 23% of Americans now reading print newspapers and 39% reading online newspapers.
3) Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter have become increasingly important sources of news, although they still account for a small minority (9%) of total online news consumption. Newer platforms like YouTube have also emerged as major contributors of online news.
4) As technology continues to advance, it provides more opportunities for effective communication of news through various new channels.
Click-To-Send: Why Camera Phones Matter in Today’s News Cycle
The document summarizes how camera phone images shaped media coverage of the 2005 London bombings. Alexander Chadwick, a survivor of the bombings, took a grainy camera phone photo inside a darkened subway tunnel. His photo was among thousands uploaded to news sites and became one of the defining images used by media to tell the story. The widespread sharing of amateur photos and videos transformed how the media reports on breaking news by supplementing and sometimes replacing professional content with user-generated material. The event marked a turning point where citizens became active participants in the news process through ubiquitous mobile technology.
News - What's it to you?
The document discusses how the definition of news and news sources have changed with the rise of social media and citizen journalism. Citizen journalism, where non-journalists actively collect and report news, has become more common since events like 9/11 and the 2005 London bombings, when citizens at the scenes shared photos and information online before mainstream media arrived. While citizen journalism has advantages like timely on-the-ground reporting, it also has biases that may not be openly disclosed like in mainstream journalism. The document questions whether citizen journalists or mainstream news sources now have more credibility and influence in delivering news.
News - What's it to you??
The document discusses how the definition of news and news sources have changed with the rise of social media and citizen journalism. Citizen journalism refers to non-journalists actively collecting, reporting, analyzing and sharing news and information. Major events like 9/11 and the London bombings showed how citizens at the scene could report in real-time via photos and blogs before mainstream media arrived. Now mainstream news sources incorporate citizen input and delivery methods across social media platforms, but it is unclear if citizen journalists can be given the same credibility as professional news organizations.
Copyright law presentation
This document discusses the history of recording technology from records to cassette tapes to CDs and how this evolution enabled sampling and remix culture. It then covers U.S. copyright law and the owner's exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform and display copyrighted works, as well as the fair use clause. The document concludes by examining how remix culture and technology have challenged existing copyright law.
MAC129 What Is Cyberculture?
This document discusses the history and definitions of cyberculture. It notes that cyberculture originated in the 1950s-1970s with the development of computer networks in the US for communication and business. Cyberculture studies examine online communities, gaming, and issues of identity and gender in internet usage. The document also discusses debates around the impacts of cyberculture, whether it leads to social deterioration or new opportunities for connection.

Now mainstream news sources incorporate citizen input and delivery methods across social media platforms, but it is unclear if citizen journalists can be given the same credibility as professional news organizations.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
