". . .One can no longer...disregard online media sites like YouTube as unreliable."
            - A.C. Rosati - Choice

 

". . .They deal not only with generally important issues such as opportunities for online civic engagement, but also address cultural and political ramifications of YouTube’s specific dynamics. . .It provides a much-needed antidote to the temptation of inferring that current participatory practices inevitably resulted from successful top-down policies."
