You can do one of two things in your post:

In chapter 2, Gillmor indirectly engages Dewey by promising that the various technologies discussed (RSS feeds, WIKIs, blogs, etc.) can be used to form communities among citizens who will engage their worlds more actively by engaging one another through e-media. Take one technology that he discusses, and reflect on Dewey’s notion of community. Does this technology and the conversations that it allows fit Dewey’s bill?

OR

In chapter 3, Gillmor directly addresses Lippmann’s argument that citizens are incapable of understanding the complex worlds in which they live. He sez that with new media, citizens have all the information that they need at their fingertips, and they can behave as informed and active citizens should (see especially p. 52 in Gillmor’s book). Surely, as a recent Pew Research Center study shows, people are dedicating more time to online news media and less to print sources (http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?PageID=564). But does this mean that citizens are becoming more informed or more competent? Does more times spent online or with the news necessarily translate into a more capable citizenry? If we build the kinds of electronic access that Gillmor thinks possible in new media architecture, will the omnicompetent citizen come?
