| Summary |
Recent developments in new media have led to the rise of what has become known as 'social media'. The shift towards mass self-communication has lowered the technological thresholds for everyday users to connect and to become 'produsers' in media life. However, the question is to what extent users interacting in this ecosystem are empowered - and not disempowered - to express their creativity and concerns and to obtain a prominent role in new media design and innovation |

"This collection provides numerous and refreshing insights into the claims about the ever more proactive role of users of ICT. It is a welcome and useful contribution to the field." (Leslie Haddon, LSE - London School of Economics and Political Sciences) "This work explores the rhetoric of user empowerment that surrounds Web 2.0. A very welcome addition to this field of research." (Axel Bruns, author of 'Blogs, Wikipedia, Second Life and Beyond: From Production to Produsage') |
