Fifth Estate
The Fifth Estate is a socio- cultural reference to groupings of outlier viewpoints in contemporary society, and is most associated with bloggers, journalists publishing in non-mainstream media outlets, and the social media or" social license".
The" Fifth" Estate extends the sequence of the three classical" Estates of the Realm" and the preceding" Fourth Estate", essentially the mainstream press.
The use of" fifth estate" dates to the 1960s counterculture, and in particular the influential" The Fifth Estate", an underground newspaper first published in Detroit in 1965.
Web- based technologies have enhanced the scope and power of the Fifth Estate far beyond the modest and boutique conditions of its beginnings.
Nimmo and Combs assert that political pundits constitute a Fifth Estate.
Media researcher Stephen D. Cooper argues that bloggers are the Fifth Estate.
William Dutton has argued that the Fifth Estate is not simply the blogging community, nor an extension of the media, but' networked individuals' enabled by the Internet, e.g. social media, in ways that can hold the other estates accountable.
Making reference to the medieval concept of" three estates of the realm"( clergy, nobility, and commoners) and to a more recently developed model of four estates, which encompasses the media, Nayef Al- Rodhan introduces the weblogs( blogs) as a" fifth estate of the realm".
Blogs have potential and real influence on contemporary policy- making, especially in the context of elections, reporting from conflict zones, and raising dissent over corporate or legislative policies.
Based on these observations, Al- Rodhan suggests moving beyond traditional thinking that limits the “ estates of the realm ” to governmental action and proposes a broader perspective in which civilians or anyone with access to a computer and the Internet can contribute to the global political change and security.
