New Civic Reality 2) Giant changes in civic culture and mediasphere have created new opportunities for

NGOs and activists

Page 13: Citizen 2.0

New Civic Reality 3) Influence is migrating from organizations to networks and new “experts”

Traditional experts with new platforms, esp. blogs

Amateur experts who are avid contributors – sometimes with tribes

New algorithmic authorities

Page 14: Citizen 2.0

New Civic Reality 4) All organizations are under more scrutiny and transparency is a new marker of trust

Surveillance – powerful watch the ordinary

Sousveillance – ordinary watch powerful

Coveillance – peers stalk peers

Page 15: Citizen 2.0

New Civic Reality 5) There are new ways for civic actors to reach their audiences and mobilize others

• Be their own “media company”

• Build networks: They matter more now

• Be a node

• Identify influentials
