Is the Internet really such a threat to radio? This media scholar & internet activist says no. Radio can still teach us something about risk, about the unexpected I interview Ethan Zuckerman, the guy responsible for the “Cute CatsTheory of Digital Activism.” This is the idea that the same tools that distribute LOLcatz can be used for subversive communication by activists. Ethan is a self-described “big, white, American geek” and is director of MIT’s Center for Civic Media. He wrote "Rewire: Digital Cosmopolitans in the Age of Connection" I asked Ethan about the future of radio in a wired world. I figured he probably doesn’t own a radio. But I was wrong.
