The document discusses citizen journalism projects in Australia during the 2007 federal election and Queensland local elections. It defines citizen journalism as an aggregated, hyperlocal, crowdsourced model where citizens report on electoral contests in their local areas. The projects aimed to learn about the audience for citizen journalism and how it differs from traditional journalism. They also sought to understand the work involved in facilitating citizen journalism. This includes content work, editing contributions, networking with other organizations, and providing community support. A case study highlights how a story generated through citizen journalism was later picked up by mainstream media, demonstrating how the projects benefit from relationships with larger outlets.

On 12th Nov ECOSOC organised a one day seminar on "[Communicating Europe: what role does civil society wish to play?|http://eesc.europa.eu/activities/press/events/2007-11-12_en.asp|en]" and which gathered around 150 communicators from across Europe.%%% Daniel Feher ([Dialog 09|http://www.dialog09.org/|en]) and I moderated a workshop on "How to better reach the European Public? The Role of the Internet in communicating and consulting civil society organisations. I always enjoy these types of events because 1. you get to know new people 2. you share your ideas.
