Hi Dave
In celebration of July 4, it seems appropriate to consider whether
the Internet will help a new form of participatory netizen media to
emerge. This was the subject that many discussed at the recent
forum held by OhmyNews in Seoul recently. My article reviewing the
forum is in Telepolis. The url is:

What will be the future?
Netizen Media or Another Form of
Corporate Dominated Mainstream Media?
by Ronda Hauben
There is a small staff of reporters writing articles for the Korean
edition of the newspaper, in addition to the submissions by citizen
reporters. The newly founded international edition, however, which is
published in English, is wholly dependent on submissions from citizen
reporters. Citizen reporters from around the world were brought to
Seoul for 3 days to meet each other and to meet their Korean
counterparts....
The issue raised during the forum, not formally, but among the
citizen journalists there, and afterwards in their comments and
articles after the forum, is the issue of whether the new Internet
media will end up being a new form of corporate dominated mainstream
media or will it be able to be the media of netizens seeking a better
world.
