Some of the key benefits of having a diverse and inclusive PLN lie in the aspects of accessibility to various types of discourse. As highlighted by this week’s reading, media is both for and by the public which can allow various individuals, communities and organizations to hear different perspectives as well as share how they view certain things and facts that others may not be aware of. This impacts the community in a way that highlights how we should create, observe and develop online communities and public media that is inclusive and continues to build on this. While many public media platforms and social media platforms may differ in how messages are communicated, their main goals are the same; which is to educate, inform and mobilize users. If we are able to build on different opinions and facts from diverse and inclusive networks, we can further educate, support and share information to communities that may not have access to each other or their information. Though it may seem like an unorthodox platform to some to share such vital information, it is important to consider how we reach new audiences and the type of access they have to various networks based on their background. If we are able to engage new audiences to both entertain and share vital information, we are able to increase individuals’ PLN’s and their opportunities.
