social capital and media  

Definición

  • In recent years, academics, community activists, foundations, and politicians have popularized the term social capital to describe how basic features of community life such as trust in others and connections with friends provide the means for citizens to cooperate on problems requiring collective effort. Defined as the resources of information, shared norms, and social relations embedded in communities that enable people to become informed and coordinate action, social capital is created by the complex interplay of institutional relations, interpersonal networks, and individual characteristics.
