What is Democratization of the Media

Chapter 35
Encyclopedia of Information Communication Technologies and Adult Education Integration
This term refers to the philosophical emphasis of new media. Based on the fact that “big corporations” do not own the podcasting “air waves” (the Internet), the phrase represents freedom of access, voice, and opinion. In podcasting, inexpensive hardware, software and Internet space can allow anybody to be a “broadcaster.” The major constraints in audio and video podcast production are only having sufficient time to create, record, and edit podcasts.

Abstract
Digital media, podcasting, digital video, and blogging all provide great opportunities for adult learners to become actively involved in expressing their knowledge and skills through project based learning. While this deep learning experience involves research, critical thinking and 21st Century learning skills, it also provides substantial opportunities for the cultivation of much needed affective benefits. Soft skills have long been recognized as a valid and valued realm within career and technical education (CTE), continuing education and adult education. This chapter reveals how to use digital media in instructional settings to cultivate voice and empowerment among adult learners. The author includes details of outcomes and practical strategies and processes.
