In class on Monday we discussed participatory journalism as it is described in the We Media report. Today in class we will do a group exercise. Each group will look at one of the following sites (you will have about 20 minutes). Working together, look at your site and try to determine what might (or might not) make it “journalism” and how the site does (or does not) promote participation. Consider both technical and social issues.
I will consult with each group as you work. Be prepared after 20 minutes to share what you found in a brief presentation to the class.
