Personal Learning Networks leverage from the public. As stated in the fourth chapter of media and social justice, the public is increasingly getting more involved in the public media, and tendencies are for it to increase as people gain access to computers and smartphones. Having an inclusive and diverse PLN is one of its greatest strengths and what differentiates it from traditional media. By having the public opinion heard you will get feedback and a second opinion on a common issue. Secondly, the public can offer direct help to an issue, since they understand where you are coming from. It is much easier to sympathize with an individual rather than a corporation. They understand and are more accepting of your issue. Another great benefit of having a diverse and inclusive PLN is that people do not feel judged. Exerting your opinion can be very intimidating, especially when mentioning it to a different public, this barrier can be broken if you demonstrate your PLN is a safe space. This ends up causing a domino effect, as the more people share their opinion, others will gain courage and contribute in their own way. After all, it is the public’s engagement is that sustains a good PLN.
