24. 1. Things that are more visible
on Wikipedia….
2. become more easily
discoverable by Google
3. and written
about more in
the press
4. and therefore more
visible to the public
5. and more is written about them
on Wikipedia. (And now you have
a media source!)

“What happens when only certain people are
able to contribute to open projects and what
happens when only certain people are able to
access open resources? This means that the
movement is not actually open to everyone
and only obtainable by those who can
practice and access it.
Open is great. Open can be the future. If, and
only when, we prioritize structuring it as a
movement where anyone can participate and
protecting those who do.”

“Our interpretation of radical digital
citizenship seeks to displace instrumental con-
ceptions of digital literacy, which reduce digital
citizenship to mere skills acquisition for
navigating a digital world…We argue that
radical digital citizenship should problematise
dominant ideas about technologies and
rethink citizens’ relations with technology to
advance the common good.”

54. “When I heard all the issues of the magazine are
being digitized, my heart sank. I meant this work to be
for my community and now I am being objectified in a
way that I have no control over. People can cut up my
body and make it a collage. My professional and
public life can be high jacked. These are uses I never
intended and I still don’t want.”

59. “Growing into the editor role, the participants recognise their personal
responsibility for representing historical people and events that
traditionally have been under-represented… Here Melluci's (1996)
concept of cognitive liberation becomes particularly relevant…
Participants recognised how new media forms are continuing to
perpetrate existing cultural norms and inequities, and that by
becoming knowledge producers they were in a position to challenge
and redress these inequities.”
