>Panel 1: To address recent changes in the practical conditions of media

>internet and low-cost production and post-production equipment, and the 
>ways in which they alter what we do and can describe by the term "mass 
>media"; in particular, the emergence of a whole new class of independent 
>media producers, who can (at least in theory) address a global audience 
>without mediation by corporate, state, or religious organizations. What

>logics? What are its limits?
