The Echo Chamber Revisted: http://www.onthemedia.org/2011/jun/17/echo-chamber-revisited/
The media “echo chamber” is the idea that we are increasingly able to cherry-pick our news sources and thus reinforce our worldview.
1. How does the notion of the “echo chamber” contradict earlier ideas about the availability of information on the internet?
2. What does this trend have to do with ideology and the culture wars?
3. Does this trend reflect your experience? How do you find news and views on the internet or how does it find you? What effect does it have on political discourse?
How does Facebook, as well as other sites, exacerbate this?
