Demos has launched a new report, Video Republic, exploring the contours of a new public space enabled by cheap digital technology and broadband access. Production companies and broadcasters no longer hold a monopoly over moving-images - instead, a new theatre of public information has emerged. Spread across the internet, television, festivals and campaigns this emerging Video Republic is a messy, alternative realm of video creation and exchange, dominated by young people. Who inhabits, shapes and regulates the Video Republic and what is its future?
And most pertinently for FE, why are the powers wot be & their gestalt polizei blocking the likes of YouTube when other slightly "higher" institutions (want a list?) have openly embraced the medium & the technologies? Read this please...
