Notes from Analysis of Past Works

I trolled through some of the past student works to see if any of them had touched on the social media scene we're trying to investigate, and although no one has really covered our subject before, there are a couple that are vaguely linked and we could look to build off.

PROSUMERISM

http://mi1prosumerism.weebly.com/index.html

This project delves into the new 'prosumer', a hobbyist or professional creative.
Approaches to six examples of prosumer practice are discussed in case studies, looking at production tools, communities and distribution methods in these examples of prosumerism. These examples cover the breadth of media and communications practice: text (citizen journalism & blogging), audio (bedroom music production), video (Youtube videographers, machinima & independent fan film-makers) and interactive media (game modding).

This could relate to our project in the sense that it is talking about user-generated media.
