Abstract
Social interactions in every domain of human activity are transformed
through the use of new media. This study provides a preliminary assessment of the
value of new media for co-production between government and (communities of)
citizens. This article analyzes innovative practices in the Netherlands of new media
usage to support the coproduction of safety and to facilitate the coproduction public
service support. The results of the qualitative research show that both forms of
coproduction provide value to governments and citizens but they differ in their
value for strengthening citizen communities. Individualized and community
coproduction are identified as different outcomes of socio-technological trajectories.
