Future Active - Media Activism and the Internet (Paperback)

The revolution will not be televised. But will it be online instead? When the Internet first took off, we heard a lot about its potential for social change, about how it would revitalize democracy, empowering ordinary citizens to work together to create a new public sphere. Future Active puts such claims to the test. Graham Meikle takes us behind the digital barricades and into the heart of Internet activist campaigns. In the first in-depth look at this global phenomenon, he talks to key players in the Indymedia movement and introduces us to the creators of gwbush.com, the website that provoked the President to declare that there ought to be limits to freedom. The founder of Belgrade radio station B92 explains how they used the net to thwart Milosevic's censorship, while McLibel trial defendant Dave Morris discusses his role in the McSpotlight website.
