Abstract

This chapter inspects how processes of convergence and cross-media communications affect regulation, using EU’s Digital Agenda for Europe as a case. The notions of digital participatory cultures and user-generated content receive particular attention as the chapter scrutinizes these from the macro-perspective of the Digital Agenda, and then follows how this manifests itself on a meso-level in two vital regulatory frameworks contained within the Digital Agenda. Finally, the chapter discusses the consequences for users and user-generated content from a micro-perspective. Methodologically, critical discourse analysis is conducted on the European Commission’s Communication on the Digital Agenda for Europe, and its reception and discussion by other relevant EU institutions.
