Podcasting: The Democratization of Broadcast?

eddie@webzine2005.com (Webzine 2005) — Sat, 01 Oct 2005 00:10:57 +0000

Podcasting allows anyone with a computer and a microphone to record their own ‘radio’ show. As the barriers to broadcast come down, what hurdles old and new are keeping newly minted ‘casters from reaching their full potential?

Culture Jamming in the Post-9/11 Mindset

eddie@webzine2005.com (Webzine 2005) — Thu, 29 Sep 2005 08:59:34 +0000

In the aftermath of 9-11, the world became a different place. The word ‘Terrorism’ is the new buzzword of the Neocon empire-builders, their corporate consorts and mainstream media moguls. Deceptive ads and slogans are being used to instill fear and sell wars for oil. The real threat, however, appears to be the rapid dismantling of the constitutional rights of average citizens to speak out, express dissent, information and truth. Well, have no fear, because Culture Jamming and ‘Hacktivism’ have become the tools of the trade for information warriors, and new technologies are upping the ante..
