Context Content chasm Initiatives and internet content need to be tailored more to the communities that they intend to serve...What this means for young people is that we are 'looking into the digital divide and seeing a content chasm' - BECTA
Context Enabling creation Young peoples cynicism or lack of interest in political participation using online resources poses a challenge to policy makers, especially. These might usefully take as their starting point the nature and channels of participation which young people enjoy, creating links with music, fashion, animals, the environment etc - ESRC/ UK Children Online – October
Context Challenges for public agencies Online services delivered by central government must become focused on the needs of users, with more local and regional services and fewer web sites based on department responsibilities. – Cabinet Office
