Annotation | In this article adapted from his 2009 Richard S. Salent Lecture, Jonathan Zittrain discusses the role of the press in the Internet age. As traditional third estate properties become more reticent to publish controversial material, citizens empowered with digital tools and worldwide access can help create projects that replace traditional journalism like Wikipedia, or reveal flaws in media coverage. Citizens and journalists, working together, can hold the press accountable. |
