Anyone with Internet access can generate online content and influence public opinion, according to popular belief. But a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that the social Web is becoming more of a playground for the affluent than a digital democracy.[\u2026]The bulk of today\u2019s blogs, websites and video-sharing sites represent the perspectives of college-educated, Web 2.0-savvy users, the study says<\/strong>.[\u2026]<\/p>\n

Schradie, a researcher at the campus\u2019s Berkeley Center for New Media, analyzed data from more than 41,000 American adults surveyed between 2000 and 2008 in the Pew Internet and American Life Project. She found that college graduates are 1.5 times more likely to be bloggers than are high school graduates; twice as likely to post\u00a0 photos and videos and three times more likely to post an online rating or comment.<\/p>\n

Overall, the study found, less than 10 percent of the U.S. population is participating in most online production activities<\/strong>, and having a college degree is a greater predictor of who will generate publicly available online content than being young and white.<\/p>\n

The results suggest that the digital divide for social media users is wider between the haves and have-nots than it is between young and old<\/strong>, and underscore growing concerns that the poor and working classes lack the resources to participate fully in civic life, much of which is now online.[\u2026]<\/p>\n

\u201cThe working class is underrepresented on the Internet,\u201d the study concludes. \u201cWithout their voices, their issues are ignored<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
