With reguards to participatory culture Jenkins describes two different kinds of media: push and pull. Push media is where information is pushed towards the consumer and the consumer can take it in. Pull media is where the media pulls the consumers to participate and they interact with it. Today Jenkins believes our society is becoming more participatory. Power is moving down to everyone and allows them to participate. With this power people begin to misuse it and use photoshop for democracy. People can edit pictures to show support or their dislike for a candidate. People can photoshop untrue things and fabricate lies that can hurt people in politics.
