From September 2005 to June 2006 a team of thirteen scholars at the The University of Southern California's Annenberg Center for Communication explored how new and maturing networking technologies are transforming the way in which we interact with content, media sources, other individuals and groups, and the world that surrounds us.

This site documents the process and the results.

Birth Stories

Thanks to the speedy work of our netpublics web team our site has seen the light of day! Kudos to Kazys, Marc, Todd, and Jameson for getting us up and running. Actually, double kudos to Kazys who birthed this web site and did drupal tweaking in the midst of welcoming his newborn son to the planet. We have great hopes for our spanking new web site too. While the work of the web team was speedy, this research cohort and conversation was a long time in gestation. Having us all in residence now at the Annenberg Center, and opening this web portal is truly a moment to celebrate.

Watch this space for reports from our ongoing research seminar, information on our speaker series, and news and publications being fomented by our collective networked intelligence. This site is also a gateway for the web presence of our individual netpublics researchers. We have a fabulous cohort of minds in residence who promise to bring you the latest news and thinking on the changing landscape of public participation in a digitally networked world.
