The term ‘produsage’ is an interesting concept introduced to us by our lecturer Axel Bruns. It accurately describes the happy medium that occurs when producer meets consumer. In today’s society, the concept of the ‘produser’ is becoming more prevalent. Within my circle of friends, I can safely say that the majority of them would be considered produsers, regardless of if they know it or not.
In a collaborative environment (like the online communities I have previously mentioned) the mutual sharing of content and information flows freely between parties. This encourages the creation of new media, and this is also where the blurring of lines between producer and creator start. The difference between this content creation and the traditional method, is the dedication to the continuous building and improvement to the media.
