Charity Village®NewsWeek: Cover Story: "Giving goes techno

In an increasingly technological world, it’s becoming easier to donate to charity from home - or wherever you are - than ever before.
One wouldn’t necessarily think it, but last year alone, one TV show, in only one episode, managed to get viewers at home to contribute more than $75 million USD to charities in Africa and the US. That show: American Idol Gives Back.
Using ubiquitous technologies such as text messaging and online donations, the show was able to raise the funds from its viewership almost instantaneously. Such is the power and the impact of new technologies on the charitable sector."

Traditional mass media forums provide few opportunities for weak social movement organizations to advance their frames. As a result, organizations without sufficient resources are largely absent from public discourse in the mass media forum. Fortunately, social media sites that rely on user-generated content create forums for more democratic public discourse, and the high visibility of user-generated content and conversation promotes a sense of collective identity and power. How can social movement organizations best take advantage of these forums to promote their own stories and frames, and encourage activism?"
