Your Contributions Matter at NML!

"A participatory culture has relatively low barriers to engagement, strong support for creating and sharing, some type of informal mentorship, a degree of social connection and the importance that members believe their contributions matter."
(Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education in the 21st Century, 2006)
