Gatekeepers weren&#8217;t there for me, they were there for &#8220;them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Filtering in turn proposed the notion that users (me, we)  should set their own parameters &#8212; it&#8217;s potentially democratic, anyway, provided we don&#8217;t let overlords filter for us.  DIY filtering can be smart, letting us develop efficiencies in how we access and consume information.  But filtering done by censors is bad.<\/p>\n<p>Curation can be equally two-edged (like filtering), but it now introduces another aspect: perhaps trust? Some sort of acknowledgement of expertise, or sophistication?  Good curation, however, done on a digital platform, is open, accessible, democratic, and transparent.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps curation is an open, acknowledged re-insertion of the human aspect &#8212; which &#8220;filtering&#8221; can strive to eliminate via automatic settings and controls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\">tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/crosscut\">crosscut<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/artsjournal\">artsjournal<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/douglas_mclennan\">douglas_mclennan<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/blogging\">blogging<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/business\">business<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/curating\">curating<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/curation\">curation<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/filtering\">filtering<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/hyper_local\">hyper_local<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crosscut Seattle &#8211; The founder of ArtsJournal talks about arts and new media Much to think on in this great interview by James Bash with Douglas McLennan, the founder of ArtsJournal. &#8220;Curation&#8221; is definitely my word du jour &#8212; I&#8217;ve seen it come up again and again recently, in relation to *very* different products and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":311,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[358,1898],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comments","category-newspapers"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yulelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yulelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yulelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yulelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/311"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yulelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yulelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1036\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yulelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yulelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/yulelog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
