Abstract

This chapter details the case of the online newspaper Voces, showing that while Voces wanted to be open to direct participation from marginalized voices, the limitations of the digital divide meant that it had to settle for writing on behalf of those marginalized voices, as participation was limited to those citizens with literacy and technological skills. Further, by using Facebook and the website as information tools rather than communication ones, Voces, while offering participation in technology for those with Internet access, failed to achieve participation through technology.
