tedxshanghai: new online commons
DESCRIPTION
Wikipedia and Twitter, supporting open many-to-many communications and participation, form a new online commons. This supports a deliberative adhocracy slicing through geographic, ethnic and economic classes. With this, journalism still has an important role, by guiding citizens towards wisdom at the top of the information pyramid.TRANSCRIPT

News industry
Journalism not doomed
Guiding the public to wisdom
Fortune at the top of the pyramid?

A new digital commons has
emerged as a global public space for discourse and
deliberation, fulfilling a journalistic need

The old monolithic media giants will go away for
good
A modern and diverse news landscape will be re-
constituted in these public spaces

For China,a technology first
adopted for entertainment, can

social justice
