The rapid spread of mediahas certainly changed the terms of dissemination and distribution of media. Ithas also changed the style and content in some cases making social commentaryin little more than cynical sound bites. Are these changes the evolution of the long history of social issuedocumentaries or are they a new form of media entirely. This panel will explore thevarious alternative styles that have been recently grown from the change indissemination. I invite papersthat explore the use of you tube and social media video as well as twitter withthe explicit goal of generating collective social change.
