Democratization of Content Discussion

This week we’ve talked the socialization of media and the democratization of content. Has content truly been democratized? Or has it simply been co-opted by a few “giants” and, in reality, is no more democratic that it was a century earlier? What do you think?

While the opening up of communication channels is practically irresistible from an adoption point of view, is it all good?

Consider the viewpoint of Rob Howard (I’m sharing an excerpt, but you should click through and read his entire post):

“Not  long ago, sharing information with thousands of people was a serious  endeavor. The cost of printing and the time it took to produce and  transport magazines and newspapers created physical barriers to how much  could be written and how much we could read.

“Before  word counts and three-minute reads, journalists were allotted column  inches. Paper was money, and the space your publisher set aside was a  proxy for the value and quality of your story.

“Today, those limits have evaporated, and we’ve lost our best neurological shortcut for deciding who to trust. The democratization of publishing seemed like a great idea, but it has been a disaster for democracy.”
