I stayed up last night to dig through some of the work done by the Media Re:public project at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University –
Media Re:public is a research project that examines the current and potential impact of participatory news media.
Media Re:public studies how people who are not professional journalists are changing the information landscape and consequently, civic life. The project also looks at how traditional media outlets are using new sources and interactive tools to engage their readers, listeners, and viewers. Through a collaborative research process, Media Re:public is surveying the changes in the media landscape, examining possible scenarios for the future, and putting forward an agenda for research.
A good place to start is the recently released Media Re:public paper series with an excellent overview (PDF) by lead researcher Persephone Miel.
You should also see the archived video from the the March 2008 Media Re:Public Participatory Media Forum at the Annenberg School for Communication, especially this great keynote by BBC’s Richard Sambrook.
Finally, do subscribe to the Media Re:public blog to stay on top of some great research on participatory media.
