My Digital Activism...

hace 1 año
In 2006, I founded ZapBoom Consulting, a firm which looks at how digital tools like cell phones and the Internet can be used in campaigns for social change, particularly in developing countries. I have researched and written reports on topics ranging from online citizen journalism to blog advocacy and internet censorship. I have also performed in-country Internet monitoring and international conference organizing. I first became interested in digital activism in 2004-2005 while living in Morocco. It was the fall after (Leer más)

The Citizen Journalism Web...

It begins with a discussion of the phenomenon of citizen journalism and the importance of an independent media to democracy. It next moves to a discussion of the motivation for the creation of OhmyNews by Oh Yeon Ho and (Leer más)

This past Monday, the site raised $4 million for Ron Paul's presidential campaign.Interestingly enough, the site itself did not even collect the donations, but (Leer más)

Don't Cry for Us, Thomas...

Columnist Thomas Friedman is worried about the politics of the Internet generation. He wrote the following in the New York Times on Wednesday in an editorial entitled "Generation Q." I just spent the past week visiting several colleges...and I can report that the more I am around this generation of college students, the more I am both baffled and impressed.... I’ve been calling them “Generation Q” — the Quiet Americans, in the best sense of that term, quietly pursuing their (Leer más)

Digital Activism Examples

hace 1 año
In the interest of defining what exactly grassroots digital activism is, I thought I'd create a list of some examples of grassroots digital campaigns. I'll be updating the list, so please send me your examples through the comments section.Nosamo (2000-present): This is the fan club of Korean president Roh Moo-Hyun (the group's name means "those who love Roh"). The independent volunteer organization used a website and digital organizing techniques to support the progressive campaign of Roh, who won the 2002 (Leer más)

OhmyNews Case Study: The...

hace 1 año
Note: In June I was hired by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society to write a case study about the effect that the Korean citizen journalism site OhmyNews has had on democracy in that country. I finished the first draft of the report last week. This is the executive summary. Ever since Tom Paine wrote "Common Sense" in 1776, citizen journalism has been strengthening democracy. By providing an alternative to mainstream media in both content and perspective, citizen journalism (Leer más)

OhmyNews: it's about the...

hace 1 año
I finally have a deadline for my OhmyNews case study so I went to the library today to do some serious work. I'm about a third of the way through, and one of the conclusions I'm coming to is that the real story isn't the OhmyNews citizen journalism site. The real story is the citizen journalists themselves, the thousands of people who, basically for free, devote hours to the publication of the truth for the common good. Another OhmyNews claim (Leer más)

A Case Study about Korea's...

hace 2 años
OhmyNews founder Oh Yeon Ho addresses staff (credit: Kwon W.S.) I was recently hired by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society to write a 30-page case study on the online Korean citizen journalism phenom OhmyNews. This is really good for me because usually I learn about digital citizen activism by experience (Free Alaa, Free Monem) rather than by study. This project is forcing me to ask and answer the hard questions about how and why online citizen actions succeed. (Leer más)
