  • Rethinking the Participatory Web Final
    Preprint version of Stevenson, Michael. 2014. “Rethinking the Participatory Web: A History of HotWired’s ‘New Publishing Paradigm,’ 1994–1997.” New Media & Society, October. doi: 10.1177/1461444814555950. Title Rethinking the participatory web: A history of HotWired’s ‘new publishing paradigm,’ 1994-1997. Author Michael Stevenson University of Amsterdam [email protected] Abstract This article critically interrogates key assumptions in popular web discourse by revisiting an early example of web ‘participation.’ Against the claim that Web 2.0 technologies ushered in a new paradigm of participatory media, I turn to the history of HotWired, Wired magazine’s ambitious web-only publication launched in 1994. The case shows how debates about the value of amateur participation vis-à-vis editorial control have long been fundamental to the imagination of the web’s difference from existing media. It also demonstrates how participation may be conceptualized and designed in ways that extend (rather than oppose) 'old media' values like branding and a distinctive editorial voice. In this way, HotWired's history challenges the technology-centric change narrative underlying Web 2.0 in two ways: first, by revealing historical continuity in place of rupture, and, second, showing that 'participation' is not a uniform effect of technology, but rather something constructed within specific social, cultural and economic contexts. Keywords web history, participation, Web 2.0, cyberculture, digital utopianism, Wired !1 Introduction In the mid-2000s, a series of popular accounts celebrating the web’s newfound potential for participatory media appeared, from Kevin Kelly’s (2005) proclamation that active audiences were performing a ‘bottom-up takeover’ of traditional media and Tim O’Reilly’s (2005) definition of ‘Web 2.0’ to Time’s infamous 2006 decision to name ‘You’ as the person of the year (Grossman, 2006).
