Mapping Public Media
What constitutes “public media” in a participatory, digital era?
This is the question we’ve set out answer with our Mapping Public Media project, an ongoing series of maps and visualizations designed to reveal the changing public media landscape.
The opening analysis contrasts two research methods—case studies by Center for Social Media fellows and Web network mapping by the Amsterdam-based Govcom.org Foundation—to examine three innovative public media projects: The War Tapes, A Lion in the House and Global Voices. The findings suggest both distinct characteristics shared by public media, and multiple arenas for future research.
