Forum:

Enlarging the scale for human cooperation has created huge changes of 
behaviour within society and even in societies themselves. The 
development of increasingly Networked Media may be providing the 
opportunity for new forms of cooperation between individuals, 
communities and institutions.

1. A Networked Media community is best defined not by the technology 
it uses but by the cooperative behaviour it promotes online and 
offline. Its structures and tools should adapt to enable complex 
behaviour not the other way round.

2. Networked Media communities, can allow information to be 
distributed and updated constantly and can represent many 
perspectives. These include well established organisations but there 
is greater room for more and more of us to contribute. This 
challenges critical and engaged consumers to forge the way our 
history/news/culture is created.

3. Networked Media promotes fluid cross-cultural, cross-specialist 
exchange, offering valuable tools and relationships to isolated 
individuals as well as institutions of research, education, business 
and government.

4. Networked Media will merely reproduce existing inequalities and 
power structures seen in the wider world unless there is access for 
all and engagement by all. The laws and licenses created that effect 
access, such as the ownership and intellectual property of Networked 
Media content are therefore critically important.

5. Networked Media should employ the necessary multimedia forms and 
elements to communicate to the widest possible audience. Developments 
in technology, form etc should increase access and not limit it.

6. The structure of Networked Media means that connections between 
ideas and sources are more available and more dynamic. For example 
linking from one URL to another is less linear and hierarchical than 
in a newspaper. Also less structured and formal news sources (e.g 
search engine results) can bring about unpredictable news. Bloggers 
can share comment and build on ideas quickly.
