Blogging Beyond the Men's Club

"Blogging Beyond the Men's Club"

by Steven Levy, Newsweek Technology & Science, 21-3-05

"It has taken 'mainstream media' a very long time to get to [the] point of inclusion," Jenkins wrote. "My fear is that the overwhelmingly white and male American blogosphere ... will return us to a day where the dialogue about issues was a predominantly white-only one."

"The top-down mainstream media have to some degree found the will and the means to administer such care. But is there a way to promote diversity online, given the built-in decentralization of the blog world? "
