This is a distillation of the Infotention module from Introduction to Mind Amplifiers http://socialmediaclassroom.com/host/mindamplifier -- I make all my content freely available. What students in Rheingold U pay for is participation in a learning community around this content, facilitated by me.

Thanks for sharing. It is reminiscent of the work I've done taking about the concept of ambient journalism. By this I mean that journalism, which was once difficult and expensive to produce, today surrounds us like the air we breathe. Much of it is, literally, ambient, and being produced by professionals and citizens. The challenge going forward is helping the public negotiate and regulate this flow of awareness information, facilitating the collection, transmission and understanding of news.

Here's the link I meant to share. From M/C Journal, From TV to Twitter: How Ambient News Became Ambient Journalism:

Journalism was a guild. Now it's more like a network. I follow your work closely.
