“Social media can be understood, from the inclusive perspective of Structurization Theory™ (a critical realist perspective), as a shift away from media oligarchy (elite dominance and disunity), in which average persons are almost exclusively the consumers of information, toward media democracy (emancipation and unity in diversity), in which they also become, sometimes through their participation in syndication, the producers, purveyors, and publishers of information.”
