Digital Divide
The term digital divide refers to the gap between those people with effective access to digital and information technology, and those without access to it. It includes the imbalances in physical access to technology, as well as the imbalances in resources and skills needed to effectively participate as a digital citizen.”

Participation GapDigital immigrants vs. Digital Natives
…I’m a digital immigrant. I was not weaned on the web, nor coddled on a computer. Instead, I grew up in a highly centralized world where news and information were tightly controlled by a few proprietors, who deemed to tell us what we could and should know. Rupert Murdoch, 2005

Lines from the film’s opening song (pre-alteration):
Oh, I come from a land, From a faraway place, Where the caravan camels roam, Where they cut off your ear, If they don’t like your face, It’s Barbaric, but hey, it’s home.

Is the media industry different than other Industries?

The Market Model
“society’s needs can best be met through a relatively unregulated process of exchange based on the dynamics of supply and demand. This model treats the media like all other goods and services” (Croteau & Hoynes,15).

The Public Sphere
“media are more than simply profit-making components of large conglomerates. Instead, they are our primary information sources and storytellers” (20).
![Page 39: Prequel: An ode to the iPhone. The average attention span in 2012 - 8 seconds The average attention span in 2000 - 12 seconds The average attention span](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e245503460f94b12083/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Jurgen Habermas
[his] “model posits an open mass media system that is widely accessible. It argues that information should circulate freely…fundamentally the public sphere views people as citizens rather than consumers. Furthermore it contends media should serve these citizens rather than “target” potential consumers” (20).

Market – Whatever the public is interested in
