This document summarizes how new media is impacting community organizing. It notes that most old and new media companies now have new media divisions, and are embracing web 2.0 technologies that enable interactive, many-to-many communication. This shifts relationships from one-to-many to many-to-many networks, blurring public and private interactions. It also discusses how community organizers must adapt their strategies and practices to engage constituents on new media platforms, and challenges them to leverage new opportunities while managing expanded networks and accountability.

Editor's Notes
For most people, the most bewildering aspect of the New Media is the surging new vocabulary. It increases the sense disempowerment felt by many a successful and previously confident organizers. Our workshop cuts through the word changes while supporting the view that organizing culture must change to take advantage of the New Media. Alternative title could just as easily be “How Web 2.0 has Changed Organizing”
