This 5-part series, originally broadcast earlier in 2012, charts a path to the future enabled by the revolutions in communications, innovation and learning in this new, post-industrial, digital age. Celebrated Canadian author and thinker Don Tapscott guides us along this path with some of the most prominent minds in education, government, industry, the media, science, and health and medicine - along with the pioneers who are creating a new era of networked intelligence. The series also introduces Don's long-time collaborator, Anthony D. Williams.

In the first installment of ReCivilization, Don looks at the media and how the industrial-age model of mass production is giving way to new, collaborative and citizen journalism, enabled by the web. Under the old model, newspapers and broadcasters delivered the news to passive listeners and readers; in this new, digital age, anyone can be a publisher or a broadcaster - and traditional media is being forced to adapt.

Guests on the program:

Sir Tim Berners-Lee,  inventor of the World Wide Web, on its impact and future.

Sue Gardner,  Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, on Wikipedia and collaborative journalism.

Alan Rusbridger,  Editor of Britain's Guardian, on the future of the newspaper.

Leo Laporte, founder of TWiT TV, an entirely online network.
