I think that a case could be made that a similar cooperation is beginning to develop in education (albeit at a slower pace). "A core function of cooperative practices since the late 2000s, collaboration fills the vacuum left by the industrial decline of media and the constant erosion of the conditions for journalism." The idea is that "The rise of network collaboration in journalism might seem, with hindsight, expected in the context of the network society, defined as an era of intrinsic collaboration. An essential condition of network relationships is that 'one part is dependent on resources controlled by another, and that there are gains to be had by pooling resources, sharing and collaborating.'" I would call this cooperation, rather than collaboration, but the model remains unchanged.
