Media hacker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Media hacking refers to the usage of various electronic media in an innovative or otherwise abnormal fashion for the purpose of conveying a message to as large a number of people as possible, primarily achieved via the Web. The most typical cases that would cause people to want to reach so many individuals, regardless of what particular target group they belong in, are political dissidence and whistleblowing. A popular and effective means of media hacking is posting on a blog, as one is usually controlled by one or more independent individuals, uninfluenced by outside parties. The concept of social bookmarking, as well as Web-based Internet forums, may cause such a message to be seen by users of other sites as well, increasing its total reach.
