New Media, Old Inequalities: Technological Fixes, National Containers, and the Roma
Original language description
Much has been written and discussed about the potential of new media technologies for re-invigorating European democracies in the past 25 years by policy makers, activists, and academics. One of the widely recognized roles of the media in this respect isthe provision of a space for public discussion where diverse opinions and representations thrive. This chapter argues that, while in the early 1990s policy makers, at least rhetorically, recognized the potential of new media (Web 2.0, in particular) increating such a space, the underlying rationale for much new media policy has shifted toward economic and developmental goals. Also, from the onset, policy makers founded their expectations of new media as a technological fix for inequalities on misguided notions. This chapter contrasts the policy expectations linked to new media with the social and democratic roles that underlie policy making related to the ?old? technology of public service broadcasting.
