Description

Cultural diversity is "an essential condition of human society" (Council of Europe, 2000). A well-balanced diet of contributions from different sources that reflect different viewpoints, ideas and ideals is widely perceived as the matrix for cultural exchange, democratic participation and personal development. The notion of diversity is linked to our perceptions of how citizens should function in a democratic society and media play an important role in offering access to a diverse information offer (SUNSTEIN, 2007). Another essential human condition is the need for self expression, acknowledgement and communication--major drivers behind the User Created Content (UCC) phenomenon (OECD, 2007a; OFCOM, 2008).
