1. DAVID GAUNTLETT
 Web 2.0 has created a more democratic media.
 We are all inherently creative, “making is
connecting.”
 The dominance of media institutions is being
challenged.
 We live in the age of the prosumer.
 Removal of gatekeepers will open up the media to
greater democracy and foster creativity that
otherwise would not have been accesible.

2. ANDREW KEEN
 Web 2.0 has created cultural chaos.
 Creates a “cult of the amateur” which devalues
the professional.
 Expertise is devalued.
 Internet Oligarchs are replacing Old Media
Oligarchs.
 Removal of gatekeepers will devalue genuine
talent and expertise. “Those who shout loudest will
be heard most”
