Digital Divide

There are two articles I have just read, as I am trying to get a handle on the ‘Digital Divide.’ These article are:

  • Van Dijk and Hacker (2003) The digital divide as a complex and dynamic phenomenon
  • Yu (2006) Understanding information inequality.

Both of these articles provided a taste of what is a large area of study with many facets and subsets; whether you are looking at the digital divide from an international nation state perspective or from an individual citizens access to local information. It is going to be difficult to write a brief summary paper of only 2000 words on this subject!

Anyone got any other recommendations for articles to read?
