Users or Participants?
a space where
the “user” and “audience” meet
giving rise to the “participant”
(Roger Silverstone)
when it happens mediation changes
our media diets change

media matrixes change
i.e.our shared representations
new media systems develop
where the “participant” has a new central role
the participant as distributor
the participant as innovator
the participant as classificator (of experience)
News, Fiction, Opinion and Commercials
From Media to People or…
Instituto Universitário de Lisboa
It’s all about the people…”the media are no longer the message”
In the 70’s, McLuhan argued that
the media is the message—
TV
Castells, in the turn of the century suggested that we should think of
“the message being the media”
WEB+TV
Eco, around the same time, suggested:
“the media precedes the message”
WEB+TV
When the message is remixed by the people…
Its all about the people…when they remix the messages using facebook, twitter, orkut, “television”, radio, press, cinema, p2p, video, games, machinima, blogs, music…

The People are the message…

And Communication is Networked…
And the consumer changes its practises and representations on media consumption...
