Task 1 Week 5

c) Paras 14-15 Are those who want to make DIY news online, best thought of as part of an alternative culture (that also exists offline) or is it more diverse than that? Think of examples beyond Indymedia

When reading this I was struck by the quote, "I belong to the blank generation". I take this as Meikle takes it. I feel that the "blank generation" is ever expanding due to the internet and the different forms of new media. The blank generation means that you can create your own self and your own culture/sub-culture. So this is an alternative culture, of open minded thinkers, creating and accepting different types of opinion. But as i said in the previous blog it is opinions building opinions. Stated earlier the "blank generation" is expanding, but expanding into what? It has the possibilty, because of new media, to expand not to another generation but to a level where a 'blank' world is created.
