Cecile Dupire on 02 Dec 10As I mentioned during the class, I read this article to know media are embodied within activist group, or by their opponant i.e. gouvernments, polices... But what is interesting in this article is to analyze how new media had an impact in the transformation of activist groups, such as for example going from being more local to becoming global. Interesting article when it comes to see how people are in practice interacting with these media.

anola brace on 09 Jan 11I agree with Cecile that, this article shows very good results of the interaction of social action with social media tools. The use of social media tools have a greater and faster impact to the society. The information about what is happening around you about a lot of injustice is spreading so quickly. I want to give a very recently example. And International organization was posting via email, fb, you tube concerning a cause in South Africa. They got the signature for this petition in very short time and the reaction of the government very soon and everyone is informed about the future actions to help this cause. It´s amazing when you think how quickly can happen, and imagine if these tools didn´t exist, most probably we will not even know what is happening around us.
