Aus der Einleitung (S.10):

In our increasingly digital geopolitical environment, social and mobile media have been an all-pervasive subject, spreading fast from the daily use of millions of people all over the world through to newsrooms, media reports and academic study. This has also made itself felt in development cooperation and during the Ørecomm Festival 2011 social media was the theme for a full day where practitioners from various organisations presented their work experiences and thoughts on the interplay between social media and development cooperation. This publication is an outcome of the Ørecomm Festival 2011 and presents Paula Uimonen (The Swedish Program for ICT in Developing Regions), Petter Åttingsberg (International Media Support) Stine Kirstein Junge (United Nations Development Programme), Birgitte Jallov (independent consultant), and Rafael Obregon (United Nations Children’s Fund) and their experiences and reflections on social media in development cooperation. The publication addre
sses social media in relation to various subjects such as external communication, community radio, the Arab Spring, youth and equity, the credibility of social media, as well as new and innovative ways of using social media in development cooperation.
