EcoPapaparazzi and social networks, continued

Dylan Wolfe, assistant professor of communications at Clemson University, adds

"EcoPaparazzi is an interesting meld of social networking, collaborative blogging, and environmental activism. While most environmental activism online tends to be extensions of offline campaigns and organizations, EcoPaparazzi exemplifies some of the most powerful potential found in new and emerging media forms. The combination of social networking with a focus on visual elements draws upon our current media mindset: see it and spread it. We are now deeply set in a visual age and dawning on an age of unprecedented interconnection. It makes sense that those advocating changes in our world, whether they be political, social, or ecological, should communicate their messages visually and collaboratively. While EcoPaparazzi may not be THE website that enacts global transformation, it could be one of many new forms of activism that continue the evolution of environmentalism into the future."
