Participatory Culture Edit

Fan fiction creators were one of the first communities to showcase the public could participate in pop culture. Helping change, grow, and alter tv shows during their run times. As well as strengthen the series’s popularity well after the last episode aired. Some fan fiction creators develop theories and speculation about what will happen next. Other fan fiction authors create ‘new’ material, forming a life of its own outside the confines of the original content. Fan’s expand on the original story, putting the characters they fell in love with in the series through different adventures and sexualities. These communities are comprised of audiences and readers from around the world, at different ages, with different backgrounds coming together to develop theories and possibilities about current tv shows, books, and films or expand and continue the stories of tv shows, books, and movies that have come to a close. ~

Citation number 42 in participatory culture article needs to update the link to https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/1010/931 I can't figure out how to change it without changing the entire reference page. ~

Figured out how to change it, and updated the link ~

Participatory culture article evaluation

I want to look into the statement in Relationship to the smartphone section "The smartphone also contributes to participatory culture because of how it changes the perception of identity" I feel like the internet, in general, has that ability. The following sentences could describe the internet too, not just smartphones.

Look into podcasts and Vimeo- a platform to upload videos

Go further into Youtube's presence in the participatory culture

The section "concerns for consumers" only has one citation in the first paragraph.

In the participation gap, the statement about students with access to home computers needs to be updated. the citation is from 2000.

And look into schools that provide students with iPads or laptops during the school year.

The last two sentences in the section "issues for educators and educational policy-makers" seems to be opinionated; there is no direct citation for the statement.

Overall, a lot of the citations are at the beginning of the paragraphs, making the article feel opinionated. The sections could be restructured, and the citations moved to the end. ~

Article evaluation.

Influence of mass media: The first statement could be expanded; "many aspects of human life" three examples are listed each covering the 'public' or 'societal' view of a human life. accurate, but not 'many'. could have more examples, of family life or platonic/friendship life.

even though propaganda in film is true, movies where not made to share propaganda as this article suggests - rewrite

The definition of media influence in the first section, could be bolded or closer to the beginning of the article.

the article discusses the audience, in how they interpret the media, but not the creators, or their intent. I am not sure if there are academic articles studying the filmmaker's intent, but most of this article discusses the research done on the audience.

the article, talks about media as a generalization.

I would like to see an example of media violence from the 1920s

replace the word 'movie' with 'filmmakers' in the statement cited by 33

Should cite Barack Obama's presidency (2008-2016) and/or update the current (2016-2020) president of the US, between citations 59 and 60 ~
