We Are Civic Media

We Are Civic Media (Northwestern University Press) brings together activists of diverse backgrounds to show how contemporary technology can support activism and collective problem-solving. In turbulent times, these examples demonstrate how everyday communities can look past abstract theories and find concrete ways to push for meaningful change. As these digital networks become more widespread and continue to shape our culture, this book shows how media can help citizens build a better public sphere.
