Why?• People already use SNSs for “preservation”
• Low-income populations use SNSs
• To battle fragmentation
• Creative online behavior is plateauing, SNS use is not
• New economic realities
• Better privacy policies and control
• Encourage “buy local” media economy
Assumptions
• Stories=Information=Money• Ethical obligation to alleviate
poverty• Some have little but their
livelihoods (John Friedmann, Empowerment)
