Gatekeepers

From What's new, new media?

[edit] GATEKEEPERS

People who contribute or control information to make sure it is creditable, wether it is in a magazine, newspaper, or online. One of the problems with the internet is that many of the sources are anonymous, such as blogs or wikipedia. Anybody can contribute information without posting their identity or backing up their information as credible.

• Journalists
• writers
• professors
