12. New Civic Reality 2) Giant changes in civic culture and
mediasphere have created new opportunities for
NGOs and activists

organizations to networks and new “experts”
Traditional experts with
new platforms, esp. blogs
Amateur experts who are
avid contributors –
sometimes with tribes
New algorithmic authorities
14. New Civic Reality 4) All organizations are under more
scrutiny and transparency is a new marker of trust
Surveillance – powerful
watch the ordinary
Sousveillance – ordinary
watch powerful
Coveillance – peers stalk
peers
15. New Civic Reality 5) There are new ways for civic actors to
reach their audiences and mobilize others
• Be their own
“media company”
• Build networks:
They matter more
now
• Be a node
• Identify influentials
