具體描述

Is the Internet democratizing American politics? Do political Web sites and blogs mobilize inactive citizens and make the public sphere more inclusive? The Myth of Digital Democracy reveals that, contrary to popular belief, the Internet has done little to broaden political discourse but in fact empowers a small set of elites--some new, but most familiar.

Matthew Hindman argues that, though hundreds of thousands of Americans blog about politics, blogs receive only a miniscule portion of Web traffic, and most blog readership goes to a handful of mainstream, highly educated professionals. He shows how, despite the wealth of independent Web sites, online news audiences are concentrated on the top twenty outlets, and online organizing and fund-raising are dominated by a few powerful interest groups. Hindman tracks nearly three million Web pages, analyzing how their links are structured, how citizens search for political content, and how leading search engines like Google and Yahoo! funnel traffic to popular outlets. He finds that while the Internet has increased some forms of political participation and transformed the way interest groups and candidates organize, mobilize, and raise funds, elites still strongly shape how political material on the Web is presented and accessed.

The Myth of Digital Democracy. debunks popular notions about political discourse in the digital age, revealing how the Internet has neither diminished the audience share of corporate media nor given greater voice to ordinary citizens.

Matthew Hindman is assistant professor of political science at Arizona State University.

最不能看政治學者談互聯網和技術,中外皆如此。Hindman先生,您嘴裏的互聯網和今天的Web2.0是完全不同的兩樣東西,07年之前的互聯網可以說仍然被少數人壟斷,寫篇文章發到報紙雜誌上吐吐槽就行瞭,何必硬湊字數齣書呢。這下好瞭,書剛齣來,推特就差點讓伊朗政權倒颱,緊接著便是社交網絡引爆的阿拉伯春天。還有,在這個技術更新定義生活方式的時代,用“Digital Democracy”做題目顯得不大謙虛,誰敢說Web3.0將會帶來什麼樣的政治生態,更彆說遠遠彆有完成瞭數字革命。

我覺得這算是在一眾喝彩networked public sphere和擔憂polarization/fragmentation/homophily中的清流,雖然不全麵,但也算提供瞭不一樣的視角。
