  • 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).

    Epicurious.com Hosts Third Annual Wine.Dine.Donate. Dinner Series to Benefit America’s Hungry Program Allows Users to Attend Dinners or Host and Donate at Home NEW YORK, June 30, 2008 – How can eating a delicious meal prepared by some of the country’s top chefs, using local ingredients, lead to more food for the neediest families? Epicurious.com, the award-winning food Web site, created Wine.Dine.Donate. to answer that question. Now in its third year, Wine.Dine.Donate. participants have provided nearly one million meals to hungry families via America’s Second Harvest, the nation’s leading hunger relief organization. Whether by attending a Wine.Dine.Donate. event or throwing a dinner party and donating online, Epicurious.com provides multiple ways to feed the more than 25 million Americans, including 9 million children, served by America’s Second Harvest’s network of local food banks each year. Dinners are being held in San Francisco, Chicago and New York this year, and will be prepared by leading chefs including Traci Des Jardins, Michael Kornick and John A. Schaefer. Many of the ingredients for the meals will be provided by local farmers who will be in attendance at the events. “As food prices continue to skyrocket and incomes are more and more stretched, supporting your local food bank becomes even more important,” says Tanya Steel, editor-in-chief of Epicurious.com. “This year is worse than ever before, as between 15 and 20 percent more people are being served by food banks this year as compared to one year ago, with fewer donations.” This year’s exclusive Wine.Dine.Donate.
