Themes for the Future of New Media | Echo Chamber Project

Themes for the Future of New Media | Echo Chamber Project: "Using the tagging technique in Final Cut Pro described here, I was able to come up with a number of major themes from the interviews that I conducted with 13 leaders of the new media movement at the Personal Democracy Forum.

* Internet revolution was in the Demand Side and not just the Supply Side.
* Audience are not just consumers, they're now producers
* Audiences can now supply their own demand.
* Audience wants more choice and control
* Markets are conversations
* Journalism is becoming more of a conversation than a lecture.

* Technology is rapidly changing Politics, Media & Culture.
* The Internet changes everything
* There are a lot more changes in the future that are totally unknown.

* There will be more balancing between top-down Hierarchy with bottom-up Grassroots
* Culture will no longer come from centralized sources of mass media.

* Blogs will give mainstream media more competition, but won't replace them
* Intelligence of the Network transcends the intelligence of an Individual
* Americans from all stripes are getting fed up with the mainstream media."
