CJ watch in Australia with GateWatching

By Bob Toovey - 12 October 2009

If you want to find out more about Citizen Journalism in Australia then take a look at GateWatching.org. The blog was, in part, created as a way for discussing the Youdecide2007 citizen journalism project for the 2007 Australian federal election.

From the 'about' section...

This site is a group blog run by the three of us - Barry Saunders, Jason Wilson, and Axel Bruns. What we’re looking to do here is to track and analyse the further development of the phenomenon of citizen journalism, in Australia - where we’re all based - and elsewhere; in fact, the recent federal elections in Australia in late 2007, and in the U.S. in late 2008, produced plenty of interesting developments for us to observe and examine. In the Australian context, we were also part of the team behind an ARC Linkage research project into citizen journalism which operated a hyperlocal citizen journalism site for the 2007 election, at youdecide2007.org.
