That language is on the cover of Mediactive, a book that is at the heart of this site. It reflects a philosophy that is simple, though difficult in practice: that we all.

But I wonder who is really getting paid if I buy the Kindle version, does Amazon take all or does the author get part of it.

- Mediactive Book.
- Mediactive by Dan Gillmor.
- The Encyclopedia of Poisons and Antidotes (Facts on File Library of Health & Living)?
- Life and Other Options.
And if the author does get paid by Amazon, is it the same as the hard copy version? Thank you so much for your interest in the book. As the author I get a cut of the Kindle price the majority, actually as well as the hard-copy price.
Mediactive – Don’t Just Consume Media. Use it.
Nobody at the party was aware of this, nor did they believe it, until they checked the facts on Wikipedia. Truth be told, that was far from the truth. Anyone reading that page during that time may still believe this to be true, and may relay it along the line to others. Links do not work in the one I just downloaded. Saw and heard you talk at the Summer Institute in Digital Media last month. The core ideas are time transcending but not so much the examples. Though I was able to find information referencing the Tunisian Prison er Map, the map itself was not to be found on the server.
I did have fun, accompanied by a degree of nausea, looking at the Walmart video timeline though. Any thoughts about an updated revision? Your email address will not be published.

Dan — really enjoying your book by the way. I've enjoyed following Dan on social media and have participated in his online courses. I preferred the e-course four stars to the book -perhaps because I am not a journalist or a student of journalism- and found the e-course better structured and clearer, especially in the first sections of the course. Both the e-course and the book are full of excellent references, and it pays to take time to explore many of them. Journalism is a field in turmoil as the old print-based business model draws to an end, good and bad citizen journalism confuse issues, all sorts of ethical problems -some hoary and some newish- crop up, key issues on net neutrality and freedom of expression flare up and the noise to news ratio soars through the ceiling.
Gillmor tackles this changing "eco-system" and provides some common-sense principles, sound advice and useful tool recommendations. Even though it may be obvious to you that you cannot believe everything you find on the net or catch on the news, in my opinion, this book will almost certainly provide you with some worthwhile tips that will make you a better media consumer and creator. Dec 27, John rated it liked it Shelves: As one of those who spend their lives immersed in the study and tools of media literacy, I found the book a little too simplistic, but it would serve as a good introduction on how to create and consume media for the citizen journalist or the student just starting out.
There's some good material and several resources. Great and somewhat chilling read on the current state of all things digital media.

Gillmor discusses the need for all to be involved in what is going on with Copyright, social networking, net neutrality, and more. Feb 24, Barry Eisler rated it it was amazing. A great book about what establishment journalism should, and what citizen journalism really is. Excellent for journalists, people who think they're journalists, people who want to be journalists, and for all consumers of news. Mar 17, Brian rated it really liked it.
I look at this as kind of a survival guide for life in the world of new media. Dan is a scholar at the Walter Cronkite School - where I work - and is highly respected as a top expert on the future of journalism. Sep 29, Mike rated it liked it. I had to read this book for a class and didn't entirely dislike it. It was definitely bearable and very informative.

While the author can be extreme at times, his views have definitely impacted the way I will view media and journalism in the future. Jul 20, Dirk rated it really liked it. Interesting book with useful information and web links to follow.
