Citizen journalism case study selected for new report

Youdecide2007, an experiment in collaborative, citizen journalism run during the 2007 election, has been selected as a case study in a major new report.

Australia’s digital economy: future directions discusses the key initiatives being undertaken by government, industry and the community to develop the digital economy along with case studies of successful individuals and industries engaged in the area.

The case study is based on an interview with CCI researcher, Professor Terry Flew, about the Youdecide2007 website which ran during the 2007 Australian Federal election campaign, from early September 2007 up to and shortly after the November 23, 2007 election date. It is one of only 12 studies selected for inclusion in the report.
