This is a good example of how social filters work. A former student sent me the link to this via Twitter, and the professor for this course has made a very solid outline of issues that compare to our Digital Civ themes. Good bibliography, too.

The LDS church is member sourcing their new public relations by inviting people to submit their own "Mormon Message" video. The church is inviting people to make use of official LDS media (musical and video recordings, etc.) within their individual creations.
