Clay asked me, what my working definition of Participatory Media is. Since I didn’t think he would like my riff on his jello and nails comment, I came up with this:<\/p>\n
Broad definition:
\nA participatory medium is one which encourages audience participation in the creation, distribution and consumption of itself.<\/p>\n
My specific spin:
\nA medium with similar properties to mass media (audio and video) with the addition of social interaction interwoven into the creation, distribution and consumption of it.<\/p>\n
Even better might be how Wikipedia defines it: I suppose that after having taught a course called “Producing Participatory Media” a couple of times, a definition should just roll off of my tongue. Fortunately, the concept itself has changed and grown quite a bit since then (ahh, the sweet pace of change in this interwebbed world). <\/p>\n Perhaps one of my former students would be better at answering this question?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Clay asked me, what my working definition of Participatory Media is.
