As usdual, we can apply the same arguments to 'open education' as to 'open journalism'. And it is totally worth noting that by 'open journalism' we do not just mean journalism that is openly licensed; what's really important is the way it is created. Who cares if everybody has access to the local news, if the local news is published by a media monopoly using it's ownership of the press to advance a political agenda? Who cares about open access to education under the same conditions? "Open journalism begins with this notion of service. It recognizes that many people in our society have a stake in quality journalism and can contribute to it. And it applies ideas that have a lot of currency in journalism to the processes of journalism itself.... And open journalism works through networked connections. It links out -- to source material and to relevant web references. It establishes news people as active participants – in their roles as journalists – in a universe of information sharing."
